[Bug 35229] Totem 1.4.0: Crash on startup (workaround inside)

[GonzO]

Public bug reported:

Affects: totem totem-xine (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I discovered the following bug today: When starting totem, I receive a
crash that looks like the following:

The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 65 error_code 1 request_code 141 minor_code 13)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I have an i915 on-board video.  If I open Totem by _clicking on a movie
or song_, Totem works just dandy.  At home, Totem opens, but the logo in
the video window peels into place (from top to bottom), a process that
takes about five seconds.

Based on that, I went into /usr/share/totem, and renamed
"totem_logo.png" to "totem_logo.png.old" - wouldn't you know it, this
fixes the problem.

Apparently, Totem trying to render .pngs can be problematic.
