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 Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.9-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-r3 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://www.gigaload.org/gentoo.org/ http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bootsplash cdparanoia cdr cjk crypt cups divx4linux doc dvd dvdr dvdread eds encode esd f77 faad fam flac foomaticdb fortran gcj gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal imagemagick imlib innodb java jpeg jpeg2k justify kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mozcalendar mozilla mozsvg mpeg mysql ncurses netbeans nls nntp oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png povray ppds python qt quicktime readline rtc samba scanner sdk sdl slang slp snmp spell sse sse2 ssl tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype usb v4l vcdimager wifi wmf x86 xface xine xml xml2 xmms xprint xv xvid zlib"
