Nautilus segfault if properties window is shown while video is playing

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Description of the problem:
If while playing a video in totem-gstreamer the properties window is displayed enough times eventually nautilus will segfault.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on the desktop and press Ctrl-L. Type /usr/share/example-content and press the Open button.
2. Double click on SeeUbuntu.ogg .
3. Refocus the example-content natuilus window. click once on SeeUbuntu.ogg and press Alt-Enter.
4. Wait for the propteries window with the tabs to appear and click the Close button.
5. Go to step 3.

Expected results:
For properties window to appear, nautilus to continue working.

Actual results:
Eventually nautilus will die with a segfault. This may take 10 or so goes round the loop and the video must be playing at the time.

Thanks for your bug. Confirmed as a totem issue since the crash happens to the properties dialog code

I've forwarded the issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341626

This upload should fix the issue:

 totem (1.4.1-0ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/06_from_cvs_stop_timeout.dpatch:
     - patch from CVS, "Stop lingering timeouts before resetting the view"
       (Ubuntu: #44507)

Works fine for me. Could you confirm that's the case for you too?
