Bug Description

When trying to launch totem or try to play a video with it, totem crashes the system completly. There are no other options than a hard reset (even magic sysrq isn't working). I was not able to get any further information. When starting totem via terminal, there are no massages before the crash occours. Totem shows up half blended (seems to crash while fading in the window).

I'm not using Unity, instead I'm on Gnome-Shell. With Unity from a live-usb, this does not happen. I've tested totem 3.2 from Ricotz Testing PPA, the error does not occure with that version.
