I have made a simple script to do these changes mentioned by loko. The problem is, that Totem doesn't recognizes the changes on the fly like gconf and Totem has to be run to transfer the changes to X. So it is definitely a Totem problem.
Just download it, mark it as executable and add a link to you panel. Everytime the color is wrong close the video player an run it. Totem will be run and closed after some seconds. Maybe the sleep time has to be adjusted on slower PCs. Btw I would use another player like VLC or something like that. This problem appears only after Totem or maybe gstreamer use.
