totem 0.99.0

[Bastien Nocera <hadess hadess net>]

Hello,

Totem "Keep on dancing" 0.98.0 is out.

Totem is movie player for the Gnome desktop based on xine. It features a
playlist, a full-screen mode, seek and volume controls, as well as a
pretty complete keyboard navigation.

It comes with added functionality such as:
- Video thumbnailer for GNOME
- Webcam utility
- Nautilus properties tab

Requirements
------------

- GNOME 2.2

And for the backend:
- xine-lib 1.0 beta 12 or better
or
- gstreamer 0.6.x from CVS or 0.7.x

It is advised that distributors ship the xine backend by default.

If Totem locks up on startup, before showing the main window, please
read:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111349
and for possible work-arounds:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111880

The upstream bug is:
http://bugs.xfree86.org//cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260

Changes
-------
* Added support for error messages coming from the xine engine itself
* Fixed playbacks of DVDs and other media in the movie menu
* Speed up playlist loading
* Worked around a bug in egg-recent that would add a '/' to local filenames
* Read links in .desktop files to be able to use the drag'n'drop of the video
  as a bookmark system
* devfs support, FreeBSD support and misc. parsing fixes for the CD
  selection widget
* moved fullscreen code out of the video widget and into totem (enables
  fullscreen to work on the gstreamer backend)
* Automatic GNOME-based Proxy configuration
* Make the visual quality option menu actually work
* Add the /apps/totem/debug entry to enable debug in the playback engine
* Fixes concerning the colliding error and buffering dialogs
