totem-gstreamer

Multimedia streams selector isn't in my menus, so i ran 'gstreamer-
properties'

Trying with video ....

Output: Autodetect
Pipeline: autovideosink
Result: Totem still exhibits the same behaviour.


Output: XWindows (no Xv)
Pipeline: ximagesink
Result: Totem still exhibits the same behaviour.

Output: XWindows (X11,XShm,Xv)
Pipeline: xvimagesink
Result: Totem still exhibits the same behaviour.

I went back to Totem

Edit->Preferences->Display

'Show visual effects when an audio file is played' == false

Set 'Show visual effects when an audio file is played' == true. Close
Totem.

Open ogg file in Totem, visualisation GOOM what GOOM is observed in the
main window. Flicking between different drop down menus doesnt exhibit
the same overlapping as before.


Ok now disable the visual effects and see if the menus still operate.
Totem->Edit->Preferences->Display

'Show visual effects when an audio file is played' == false. Restart
totem.

Menus open when mouse is moved over them and then close again when the
mouse is moved away.

Try all three videosinks and check to see whether menus display properly
and work when visualisation is off/on.

Output: Autodetect
Pipeline: autovideosink
Result: Visualisation Off = menus OK, On = menus OK

Output: XWindows (no Xv)
Pipeline: ximagesink
Result: Visualisation Off = menus OK, On = menus OK.

Output: XWindows (X11,XShm,Xv)
Pipeline: xvimagesink
Result: Visualisation Off = menus OK, On = menus OK.

It has to be noted that changing the audio output sink in gstreamer
properties passed the gstreamer property test although in totem the
menus didnt work as expected.

So to work around this bug for me i needed to enable visualisations on
audio files within totem, then the menus work fine regardless if in the
future i disable them again.
