Thanks, it was easy, and produced lots of info for a change ;-)
Too much (300 lines) to put in a comment, so I attached it instead.

There is something new : when run via valgrind, totem behaves differently.
Instead of just loading the GUI and hanging, it loads the GUI, then the GUI
disappears a second later, then it pops up an error dialog that says:

------------------------
Totem could not start up

The video output is in use by another application.
Please close other video applications,
or select another video output in the Multimedia Systems Selector.
-----------------------

That's strange, as I had no other applications using video when I ran valgrind.
And even then, normally I can watch XawTV and play a video simultaneously with
Totem, and it all works fine.
