Bug Description

Totem reliably crashes when using "remote control" feauture. To reproduce:

1) Start totem with a video. Wait until in opens up and starts playing.
2) Switch to another terminal and issue totem --pause.

The second instance outputs:
% totem --pause
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

and terminates normally.

The first instance crashes with SEGFAULT. Backtrace:

This bug was fixed in the package totem - 3.0.1-0ubuntu17

---------------
totem (3.0.1-0ubuntu17) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - don't Build-Depends on libxtst-dev so the codepath generating fake key
      events is disabled, those events lead to weird behaviours with
      some applications or the unity hud (lp: #923644)
    - drop the Build-Depends on individual girs, the libs depends on those
  * debian/patches/git_commandfix_incorrect_free.patch:
    - fix segfault with on line options use (lp: #860079, #884811, #917241)

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * Drop coherence plugin description since the plugin has been
    removed by GNOME. (LP: #827382)
