The source of the bug was without a doubt, X, not totem. Recent XF4.3
packages include a patch to rectify this bug - which, with a little help,
was found and fixed by Bastien, author of totem. Both totem and XF4.3 (when
crucial vendor patches are taken into account) operate very well.

I far prefer reading informed mailing list commentary, don't you?
