I would guess totem talks to gnome-settings-daemon over DBus which triggers it's startup; gnome-settings-daemon will apply the GNOME Gtk+ settings to your X session (via XSettings) on startup. When you're using GNOME apps, they will use GNOME preferences; here the problem is that this affects all Gtk+ programs you already launched. I can't tell exactly where the logic flaw is, but I don't see this being fixed any time soon; I'd recommend you configure the GNOME settings properly. Bye, -- Loïc Minier
