Bug Description
I'm using dapper 20060501
totem-xine 1.4.0-0ubuntu5
I have some videos on my desktop in ogg format.
I created a playlist of them in totem and saved this playlist to the desktop.
When I close totem and click on the playlist on my desktop I'm unable to play the videos. I'm getting this error:
Totem could not play 'file:/
The specified movie could not be found.
This error indicates that totem looks in /home/pascal while it should look in /home/pascal/
I'm using totem-xine but I have the same error with totem-gstreamer too.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download a few videos (e.g. mpg or ogg from http://
2. Open these videos with totem and create a playlist of them.
3. Save the playlist on the desktop.
4. Close totem.
5. Click the playlist on the desktop.

Totem creates the playlists with relative URLs, so the current working directory needs to be the same as when the playlist was created.
