That looks like a window manager bug. Could you follow those instructions to get a debug log?
"A verbose log is useful for all crashes, but in particular for any "weird behavior in a particular situation" sort of bugs that we cannot duplicate easily. Such a log can be obtained by: 1. Reduce your desktop to as few windows as possible to reproduce the bug 2. Run METACITY_VERBOSE=1 METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1 metacity --replace 3. On stdout metacity will print the name of the logfile 4. Reproduce the bug as quickly as possible 5. Kill the metacity you started above to stop the logfile from growing any longer 6. Compress the logfile and attach it to your bug report" ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: totem => metacity Importance: Undecided => Medium -- totem takes all screen width https://launchpad.net/bugs/74813 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
