Package: totem-xine
Version: 2.16.5-3
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
This system is straight etch with no backports.
totem appears to be looking for some file that it is expecting kde to
have created for it, and is completely unable to cope if it's not there.
This is even more odd when totem(1) says
totem is a movie player for the GNOME desktop...

Not sure how to progress here.
At the least, the error messages need a little work.
For example "can't create mcop directory in <location>" would be more
helpful. Perhaps that would not be too difficult to arrange.
The .kde file is there because the home directory is automounted by
different systems, and on some of those systems use kde has been used
as the desktop. The present environment is nice simple 'startx' with
fvwm2 and no session manager; there doesn't appear to be any cruft
hanging around in the environment either.
$ env|grep -i kde
$ env|grep -i gnome
I could not find anything relevant to this in /usr/share/doc, after
a quick check:
$ find /usr/share/doc/totem/ -exec grep -liw mcop {} \;
$ find /usr/share/doc/totem-xine/ -exec grep -liw mcop {} \;
Other people are hitting this as well, e.g.

Yes, this bug has been fixed by dropping the arts plugin completely. It
has also been dropped from the upstream 1.2 branch, and is unlikely to
come up again.

Either that, or you can also remove the arts plugin from the filesystem,
if you don't use it:
sudo rm /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.2/xineplug_ao_out_arts.so
