           Summary: Totem doesn't play the inserted DVD and look in another
                    place
           Product: Ubuntu

If you have multiple optical cd/dvd reader, there's chance that totem will not
play automatically an inserted DVD.

- Take a computer with one CD reader (not DVD). 
- Plug an external DVD reader (or add an internal DVD reader-
- insert a DVD
- totem is automatically launched. You think "yay, I will watch my DVD !"
- you get a cryptic error telling you that the current media cannot be found.

In fact, you have to go to the Preferences of Totem and change the Path to the
"optical reader".

first, it means that you have to change this preferences if you have two dvds
players but the weirdest thing is that totem is automatically launched when the
DVD is inserted, so my computer know where is my DVD and Totem will look in
another place !

I really find this a big usability bug. 
It can be even funny. Say you have two DVDs. In the first one, there's an "adult
movie" DVD but not playing, only displayed as an icon on your desktop.
You forgot about this and want to watch a cute movie DVD(disnar, pixey,
whatever) with your son. You insert the cute DVD in the second DVD reader, totem
is auto-magically launched and... guess what happens ;-)
