So, in summary:
1. My XV parameters upon bootup are optimal (video playback looks fine).
2. Other applications such as VLC that use XVideo output *do not* change the XV
parameters.
3. Running Totem, specifically the default backend, totem-gstreamer, causes XV
parameters to inexplicably change, without any interaction. This causes video
to look too dark, and can only be fixed by manually resetting XV parameter,
e.g. with xvattr.
This is a bug in totem or one of its backends, and should be
investigated. I'm sick of having to manually tweak XV parameters every
time I want to watch a movie!

totem overrides XV_CONSTRAST to wrong default value (Xv movies on i810/i945
have horrible colour/gamma)
