Comment 44 for bug 35229

I just saw a problem that looks very much the same, after upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy. Worked fine before.

chris@FAITH:~$ totem &
[1] 9382
chris@FAITH:~$ 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 42 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.)
