Ok, I have figured this out more. I've been playing with using gst-launch to setup test video streams.
It appears the Xserver kicks back a BadAlloc when an xvideo is setup at resolutions it doesn't like. I would assume this is proper server behavior - but I don't know. I do know that the issue with the leaftag-gimmie.avi is the base resolution (1x scale) is larger than my display, and coincidently counted as a resolution the server doesn't like. Therefore, it kicks back BadAlloc. Either totem or gstreamer should be handling this eventuality, yes? -- Totem crashes on startup. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
