Public bug reported:

Description of the problem:
If the Sound -> Languages menu is open when a media finishes playing then totem will lockup and GNOME will no longer respond to mouse clicks.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run
totem /usr/share/sounds/login.wav
2. While it is playing but before it is finished go to the Sound -> Languages menu so that Auto and Uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio are displayed.
3. Wait for the login sound to finish playing.

Expected results:
Menu to be closed? Totem and desktop to remain responsive and to redraw themselves.

Actual results:
Part of the desktop stops being redrawn. Applets continue to redraw themselves. Desktop and every application (including applets) stops responding to mouse input, alt tab stops working etc. Only way to recover is to kill totem from a virtual terminal.

Additional information:
The following is printed when totem is launched from a terminal:
(totem:13430): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed

Version information:
totem 1.4.1-0ubuntu2
totem-gstreamer 1.4.1-0ubuntu2

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