Bug Description

Totem fails to load completely when using the proprietary nvidia driver and with xinerama enabled. When I run totem from terminal, the gtk window loads for about a 1/4 second and then closes, and I get is the following message in the terminal:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

this bug seems similar to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17/+bug/58232

but my bug has only recently started happening. I'd like to attach helpful files like a coredump, xtrace, strace, etc. but I don't know how. If someone could tell me I will post as much helpful info as I can.

I'd also like to add that unlike the above-mentioned gnome-terminal bug, totem still segfaults when I turn off compositing in xorg.conf

I can't find any workarounds to get totem to work while xinerama is on.

OK I found two helpful files in my /var/crash, I'm not sure if the clear_console crash is related to the totem crash, but apport *did* notify me that clear_console crashed the very first time totem crashed, so I will attach it anyway.
