>From my quick check, it seems that totem is only pulling in
startup-notification indirectly through gnome-desktop. And that only
happens on a non-GTK-only build. totem-plugin-viewer.c seems to
require startup-notification unconditionally, though. So, I would say
that if you're using --enable-gtk, there's definitely a path to build
breakage.
The right solution is that the enabling the browser plugin needs to
check for startup-notification instead of relying on something else
pulling it in. This could probably go upstream (discounting gmail
breaking formatting):

Are you using --enable-gtk? I just built it all fine a couple days
ago, but I pulled in all the optional dependencies.
