I marked this as being Fixed for ”totem (Ubuntu)” because –no-existing-session has been removed from Totem altogether ( I’ve verified this in 12.04). So the bug as I initially described it no longer exists in recent *buntu.

This no longer happens so I’m marking this as being fixed.

Totem crashes when trying to use the ’open file’ dialog to navigate to a certain subdirectory (containing only two subdirectories). This happens with 99% certainty. In the remaining 1% it happens when I proceed to one of the two sub-subdirectories. Unlike bug #891460, this is on an ext4 partition.

–no-existing-session is is a handy little parameter, as documented by –help:

jani@saegusa:~$ LC_ALL=C totem –help | grep no-existing
–no-existing-session Don’t connect to an already-running
instance

Totem’s man page however fails to mention –no-existing-session altogether.

jani@saegusa:~$ man -P cat totem | grep no-existing
jani@saegusa:~$
