I have the same problem, no desktop effects enabled
paul@ubuntu-media:~$ totem
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 41 error_code 8 request_code 142 minor_code 14)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
I am using the fglrx driver.
I have dual monitors enabled if that makes any difference.
