Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2012-03-04 14:20:26 UTC 
Looks like cogl or clutter, or something.
Comment 2 Robert Bragg 2012-03-13 14:03:17 UTC 
I'm not sure about this.

cogl_onscreen_new is being called by clutter_stage_x11_realize with a NULL context, where that context comes from backend->cogl_context.

backend->cogl_context is setup in clutter_backend_real_create_context and that does have error checking so we should have failed to initialize clutter if we failed to create a cogl context.

I'm wondering if totem is somehow trying to create a stage before it has initialized clutter?

I'm reassigning this as a totem bug for now, unless we get more information.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2012-03-13 16:56:32 UTC 
It's more likely that clutter fails to init properly, and we weren't checking for that (we didn't get to see the possible warnings with that stacktrace).
