Bug 72722 – Totem 0.99.{19|22-r1} process active but nothing shown

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Luca Rosellini 2004-11-28 06:37:51 UTC]

When starting totem no windows are shown even if the process is running as shown by top.
The same thing happens even running totem as root.

If root is running a cpu intensive task (like emerging a program) I am able to run totem successfully.
I briefly discussed this bug with Bastien Nocera on gnome bugzilla.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153233

But as this seems to me to be a gentoo related bug I decided to file this bug.

It is also discussed here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=253882



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge totem
2. run totem as root or as regular user
3.

Actual Results:  
totem process starts but no windows are shown

Expected Results:  
Totem main window should be displayed on screen
