I'm having a problem where totem isn't displaying anything normally;
just a black area where the video should be.  If I popup a menu or move
another window over totem, the video flickers in and out of existence.
Sometimes it'll stay afterwards, most of the time it won't.  The video
is always visible when I display it in fullscreen mode.

This is on a freshly updated system as of 30 minutes ago.
