I would have attached the file I created using `totem 2>&1 | tee totem.out',
but then sort -u showed me it 4202 copies of the single message quoted in the
Summary.

could you provide a backtrace of running totem like this:

$ G_DEBUG="fatal-criticals" gdb --args totem

the execution should stop at first critical message.

Created an attachment (id=166181) [details]
strace output from `strace -o totem.strace totem' [media-video/totem-2.22.2-r1]

I tried the same in a debian sid chroot and there totem exhibits the exact same
problem - it hangs and it keeps repeating the warning in the Summary.

and what about the output of the command in comment #2 ? the strace doesn't
look like it contains anything interesting.

It hangs. gdb uses a fair chunk of CPU time but never displays any output. Or
responds to commands, or a break, and can only be killed. I would have provided
this information sooner if I had got anything useful.

Maybe launching just gdb totem
and then setting a breakpoint on g_log would work better. Use "thread apply all
bt full" to get the backtrace if the break succeeds. Something like this (just
an example of a different warning that is more innocent than the one you get):

(gdb) break g_log
Function "g_log" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (g_log) pending.
(gdb) run

could you try some 2.24 version ? I fear we can't help much without something
tangible to debug with. Maybe taking this upstream would be simpler.

@x11: Could you please tell which X11 library is responsible for passing window
information to windowed applications? I am wondering if the problem lies there,
as I am seeing other curious positioning problems as well. In both KDE and
Xfce, buttons/panel applets move to the center of the panel instead of sticking
to the right or to a custom defined position after a restart, as if the
information is either passed on or remembered/written wrongly.

Parsing the window hierarchy is part of the core protocol and is handled by
libX11 directly. See XQueryTree(3).

Don't really know what's going on there...

Thanks

You're kde/xfce problems are probably not related to X11 and more likely
kde/xfce panels/etc bugs..

@jer: Is this problem still around with 2.24? What about 2.26? Why does it
block bug 268363 since it's not a regression ?

Yes, yes, it's a regression from -2.20.
