OK, the gnome settings daemon does not interact with dbus in the way
that I would have expected. Somebody with more knowledge of Gnome may be
able to shed more light on this; I still think that the dbus proxy
warning is not necessarily connected to the reason for the segfault.

I was suspecting that you have an outdated or broken library in
/user/local/ that is responsible for your problem (the ldd output should
have shown this) but that does not seem to be the case.
Well, time for the big guns: Install the packages "totem-dbg" and "gdb",
then start gdb like this
gdb totem
and type
run trial001.mov
at the gdb prompt that comes up. This sequence of commands will run
totem in the GNU debugger, which should catch the segfault. Once it
does, type
bt
at the gdb prompt and post the resulting output (the backtrace) here.
