Hi Julien,
Two things:
Since I posted the bug, I've switched back to Metacity. However, on a
recent upgrade Testing Metacity was automatically configured to run in
composite mode. Same problem with Totem, it crashed.
I did not try either the unstable or the experimental version of the
Intel driver since AccelMethod EXA works like a charm. I added the
option and now Totem doesn't crash anymore.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Chris
