This is the error when starting totem:

[don@localhost don]$ totem
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 72 error_code 11 request_code 141 minor_code 19)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

How do I solve this?

This is the error when starting mplayer:

[don@localhost don]$ mplayer

I removed and reinstalled both only to get the same messages.

If you're running Mozilla or some other web browser try closing it before running Totem. If that solves your problem then it's a known bug in the system, sorry ...

That is not the problem.
