Bug#509964: multiple instances of totem spawned when CD inserted, multiple users logged in

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: totem

Debian lenny amd64
$ dpkg --list | grep totem

I regularly have more than one user logged in, and use the function for 
switching between users (e.g. I click `lock screen', the other user 
clicks `switch user', ...)

If a DVD is inserted while two users are logged in, multiple copies of 
totem are started automatically, one for each user who is logged in:

$ ps aux | grep totem
visitor  28722  3.8  0.6 335532 27788 ?        Dl   01:42   0:00 totem 
/media/cdrom0
daniel   28724 38.5  1.8 604544 73836 ?        SLl  01:42   0:05 totem 
/media/cdrom0


The video and audio is corrupted and CPU usage is higher/noisier, 
although the cause is not obvious.  Killing one of the two totem 
processes fixes all the problems and the picture and sound are normal.
