I edited the description as the crash occurs whenever switching back to the vty containing the video player. I have just tried running gstreamer-properties to change the default video output sink and it is the same no matter the setting - the application crashes with the same error message as in the original description.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg - Whenever I switch away from the vty showing a video with Xvideo that app - crashes. If the app is minimised then the playback is uninterrupted. - This behaviour is consistent across all apps that show XVideo output - - vlc, totem, miro. That's why I'm, filing this bug under Xorg. + Whenever I switch away from and back to the vty showing a video with + Xvideo that app crashes.

I'm running karmic on a amd64 machine, xorg version is 1:.4+3ubuntu7 and the graphics driver is nvidia's 185 series blob. I did a gdb session with totem. It spawns 7 threads. When I switch to another virtual terminal an error appears and all threads exit as does totem with the exit code 01. Here's the error: 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 516 error_code 11 request_code 133 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.
