Bug#926164: Totem still sort of running, just UI not responding

[Mike Crowe]

It's just happened to me again and I was able to collect some more details.

1. The play/pause media key on my keyboard can still be used to play/pause
the track.

2. The "Videos is not responding" popup appears over the Totem window when
I try to focus it.

3. I captured the following strace when I attempted to focus the window and
clicked "Wait" on the not responding popup. It doesn't look particularly
helpful:

4. I have the Media Player Indicator GNOME shell extension enabled. Its
play/pause button also continues to work whilst the main Totem UI is
unresponsive.
