Description Toni Willberg 2004-12-16 09:15:04 UTC 
totem-0.99.19-1 (FC3)

From gnome-terminal, type "totem" without parameters. (Or use the menu launcher)

Totem starts, and opens up a dialog:
"Totem could not play 'file:///home/twillber/Desktop/Downloads/preview.mpg'.
Failed to open; reason unknown"

ls: /home/twillber/Desktop/Downloads/preview.mpg: No such file or directory

That preview.mpg was something I tried to watch, but for some reason Totem
failed to show it. The file was later removed.

Now every time I start to launch Totem, the error dialog appears.


The fix: Totem shouldn't try to automatically open previously played media file
on start.
