Bug#737903: totem unusable

[Paul]

Hello Andreas,

You are right -- Totem is NOT the cause of my difficulties, therefore I am
going to mark this bug as resolved.

At the time, I had just installed Debian testing/unstable and the
firmware-linux-nonfree package. Other problems with my video output besides
the Totem hang showed up. I installed Debian oldstable (3.2.54-2) since
then and Totem seems to work well now.

The hang was caused by the driver for my ATI Radeon X300 video card --
X300_cp.bin contained in the firmware-linux-nonfree package. This driver
does not coexist well with some of the newer software, especially the Gnome
desktop manager, gdm3.

Thanks
