Comment 9 for bug 133030

I previously posted this as a followup to #35229 (a different bug with very similar symptoms):

<<
Same as Chris Waigl. Worked fine with Feisty. The previously mentioned workaround (scaling or removing totem_logo.png) does not work. Furthermore, gxine fails in the exact same manner:

The program 'gxine' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 326 error_code 8 request_code 141 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.)

Really annoying, as I just got season 5 of the Simpsons for Christmas. I watched the first four seasons without a hitch on Feisty.

I was able to watch the first episode using totem-gstreamer. I also tried vlc, but the image was very jumpy, and navigation was almost impossible as I could not see the mouse pointer while it was inside the vlc window.

Correction, I was able to watch the first episode using mplayer. With the gutsy-backports version, I was even able to see (but not use) the menus. With totem-gstreamer, I was not able to see anything but an error message about missing codecs.
