Bug#255320: totem: Bogus error message when last vatched video file vanishes

[Arunan Balasubramaniam]

Package: totem
Version: 0.99.9-5
Severity: minor


When you watch a video file in totem, close it and then 
move/rename/delete the file (i.e. make the original go away), totem 
gives the following error when started (from the debian & gnome menus, 
or by typing 'totem' in a terminal window):

Totem could not play file 'foo'.
There is no plugin to handle this movie.

I have two issues with this:
a) The problem is not to do with plugins, it's that the file is not 
   there.
b) I just don't care - if I launch totem directly, then it does not 
   matter to me if it can't find the file I watched last time.

Either the error message should be corrected, or the error dialogue
removed entirely (which would be my preference).
