@Bryce Harrington: I tried the patch from bug #151 and it didn't help this situation either. I believe the purpose of that patch is to provide values to improve colour reproduction, and while it's a good patch that has (IIRC) been pushed upstream, it doesn't help with this particular bug.
@Thomas Fritzsche: I tried the proposed patch you referred to in comment #161, and while the default values have been redefined, totem-gstreamer still continues to modify these settings without user consent.
Each time you open a movie with totem-gstreamer, the following occurs:
XV_BRIGHTNESS is reduced by 1 point;
XV_CONTRAST is reduced by 2 points;
XV_SATURATION is reduced by 3 points.
Also, it seems XV_COLORKEY increases by 5 points (from 66046 to 66051) after the first invocation of totem, but it remains stable at 66051, unlike the three attributes above.
