This happens for me, too. I've just done a clean install of Gutsy Herd 5, and did all updates. I get the same error as above (note that the error which this error points to as a duplicate deals with a "BadRequest" error instead of a "BadAlloc" as here). I get the error with all players I tried (totem, vlc, mplayer). Here's the output from totem when trying to play a 720p mov video file from Apple's trailer site (my screen resolution is 1280x800, using the 915resolution package): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 56 error_code 11 request_code 140 minor_code 19) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) aborting...
