[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 148073] Re: totem plugin going fullscreen does not work (was: freezes computer)

[won]

This was happening for me most often in Miro.  Seemingly randomly, it
would cause a movie played back in fullscreen to present me with a blank
screen and no keyboard / mouse response.  The same thing would also
happen in Totem on DVD insertion. (Speaking of which, how does one
prevent Totem or anything from opening automatically on DVD insertion
anyway?)

Anyhow, if you've got the CompizConfig Settings Manager installed (it
appears in the menu on this Hardy Heron install as "Advanced Desktop
Effects Settings"), you can try going to the Workarounds plug-in of the
Utilities section and un-checking the "Legacy Fullscreen Support" entry.
That restored order for me, although some movies do stutter slightly
more (I think) than they would have before that was disabled.  Still,
far more preferable than having to do hard restarts throughout the day.

I don't remember how I got the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings thing
enabled.  It didn't come preinstalled with Hardy.
