Hello Andreas, You are right -- Totem is NOT the cause of my difficulties, therefore I am going to mark this bug as resolved.
At the time, I had just installed Debian testing/unstable and the firmware-linux-nonfree package. Other problems with my video output besides the Totem hang showed up. I installed Debian oldstable (3.2.54-2) since then and Totem seems to work well now. The hang was caused by the driver for my ATI Radeon X300 video card -- X300_cp.bin contained in the firmware-linux-nonfree package. This driver does not coexist well with some of the newer software, especially the Gnome desktop manager, gdm3.
