Description Paul Menzel 2013-02-03 13:31:02 UTC 
Using Debian Sid/unstable with Chromium 22.0.1229.94~r16106 and Totem 3.4.2-1, accessing the site <http://www.merriam-webster.com> and playing the pronunciation with the Totem plugin in, the following error messages are printed to the terminal.

GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS comes from Chromium I'm pretty certain, as we don't set that environment variable in totem.

    browser-plugin: Fix warning inhibiting idle for hidden plugin
    
    When the plugin is hidden, we shouldn't be inhibiting idle to
    prevent the screensaver coming on. It also fixes warnings
    at run-time as gtk_application_inhibit() expects a real window,
    not NULL.

    browser-plugin: Fix warning when running in Chromium
    
    Work around Chromium setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS. It's not used
    for GTK+ 3.x, so unset it.

Thank you for looking into this. I did not try Totem with the fixes yet, but just wanted to document that this still happened with Totem 3.8.2-4+b1 and Chromium 33.0.1750.152-1. I am looking forward to the fixed version.
