Bug Description

Totem(-gstreamer) exits with code 1 after a while in full screen mode. This
appears to happen with all video files i have tried so far.

To reproduce:
1. open totem and a video file
2. Enter fullscreen mode (press F)
3. wait a while

I haven't yet verified if this is an upstream problem, gstreamer backend problem
or just ubuntu related in some other way.

Thanks for your bug. How long is your while? Is that constant (ie: maybe the
screensaver usual running time)? What version of totem do you use?

er, sorry. Forgot to include version number. The version where this bug appeared
is 1.1.3 (currently running 1.1.3-0ubuntu2). While means a minute or so, it is
definitely less than the activation time of the screensaver.

I tried to create a library that i could preload to make totem segfault on exit
so i could provide a backtrace. Apparently my coding skills have degraded too
much for me to create a simple reliable segfault ;)

Totem-xine does it as well. Let me grab a backtrace for you.

Corey, can you get a backtrace from your copy too. Just to see that this isn't
just random.

As for these results, it would look like a bug in gdk-x11 and not totem.

Preload library to cause a crash and help debugging

This is the tool i used to cause a crash and get a backtrace.

I'm now rather convinced that my previous backtrace is rather useless. i'm
trying to track down a better symbol than exit.

Is the video crashing or the UI? Maybe the same as this upstream bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310255 too. Do you have any X Window
message when it crash?

That looks like the same trace, and looks a bit like the same error. Also there
is an error in the terminal:
----Snip----
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 13192 error_code 2 request_code 149 minor_code 2)
  (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.)
----Snip----

The UI exits (it doesn't really crash) with exit code 1. I just forced it to
crash to get a backtrace.
