This happens for me, too. I've just done a clean install of Gutsy Herd
5, and did all updates. I get the same error as above (note that the
error which this error points to as a duplicate deals with a
"BadRequest" error instead of a "BadAlloc" as here). I get the error
with all players I tried (totem, vlc, mplayer). Here's the output from
totem when trying to play a 720p mov video file from Apple's trailer
site (my screen resolution is 1280x800, using the 915resolution
package):

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 56 error_code 11 request_code 140 minor_code 19)
  (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.)
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)
