GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 650984
Totem interferes with other applications every 30 secs when listening to music
Last modified: 2011-09-12 16:55:36 UTC
Steps to reproduce: - Play something with totem - Keep a firefox menu open - It will, within 30 seconds, close automatically. Note the time it occurred. - At regular 30 sec intervals from the noted time, any firefox menu which is open at that time will close itself. Applications affected: - All XUL applications - Some Qt applications also behave strangely (i.e. in Mathematica, the input area looses focus, and the File menu head is selected) - The Gnome-Shell alt-tab switcher Other information: dbus-monitor does not show any events happening at these instances. Grepping the totem sourcecode for anything related to 30secs, the only thing I found was totem-resources.c:#define DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIME (30 * G_USEC_PER_SEC) /* 30 seconds */ and nothing depending on that value seems to be capable of affecting other applications. Version: totem-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64

If you use a GNOME session, and gnome-screensaver, the D-Bus interface will be used, and no key events will be generated. Otherwise, well, we do our best, but it has side-effects, as you've been able to see for yourself.
Uhm, I'm using the regular gnome 3 install on fedora 15, but I don't see dbus being used?
Fair enough. Please attach the output of: G_DBUS_DEBUG=message totem while reproducing the problem
My system is playing games with me... Was able to constantly reproduce the problem for an entire week since I first noticed, but now, surprise surprise, it works >.< Will report back if I encounter the issue again, in the meantime thanks and sorry for the noise.
Created attachment 188842 [details] dbus_debug output
Happened again, output attached.
