Hi Dick,

This sounded like an interesting problem so I took a quick peek at the Totem code.

It turns out that it'll be pretty easy if you don't mind checking out and building Totem from source.

There's source available here:
https://github.com/GNOME/totem

I tried it using these instructions:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html

First I created a directory Totem. Then, in that directory I ran:

$ apt-get source totem

I unpacked it in that directory, went to totem-3.0.1/src and picked up with your directions:

In the file, totem-private.h, on line 173, is where the "seek back" amount is defined, as SEEK_BACKWARD_OFFSET. If you change that from -15 to -2 that should theoretically do what you want.

Then, back to the debian directions I navigated back up to the directory Totem and ran:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

That generated a load of .deb files, but one of them, totem_3.0.1-Obuntu21.1_i386.deb seems like the one to install. Next, I ran:

$ sudo dpkg -i totem_3.0.1-0ubuntu21.1_i386.deb

How do I know where it put it? When I run Applications > Sound & Video > Movie Player, I get the version with the 15 second backspace.
