> Is this reproducible?

Yes

> If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

1 Get the Elephants Dream movie at http://orange.blender.org/download (take the 
480p h264/aac audio to ensure it can be played on a 5 years old system)
2 If required, install the needed gstreamers plug in to play the movie
3 play the movie in Totem, place the windows in a corner of the screen  (or on 
your second screen if available)
4 open a nautilus window
5 you will notice frames drops in the movie during the opening of nautilus
6 if not, browse your hard disk, hit refresh button, your movie will stutters

To continue the experiment :

- renice the totem process to -10 
- set ionice of totem to -c1
- go to step 4


You can replace Totem by Xine, Mplyer or VLC.
I will open a new bug report for Smplayer because this player is specially 
affected.
