Bug#282683: totem: Totem crash on startup: maybe egg_recent related issues?

[Riccardo Lancellotti]

Package: totem
Version: 0.99.22-1
Followup-For: Bug #282683


When I start totem on startup i experience a crash. The problem is
reproducible and is not related to the backend (the problem arises with
both totem-gstreamer and totem-xine). I send you a backtrace of the
problem. It seems like the crash occurs in handling recent file list.
