Thank you for helping me out here, Christopher! I've never reported an
Xorg bug before, so I appreciate the patience :)

I did what you asked, hope it helps. Not sure if it matters, but wanted
you to know that the whole process ended with this error message:

(process:2757): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Hope you still got all you needed. (btw I was warned that I was sending
private info, so maybe this bug should be set to private?)

Also: Are you sure that this should be marked as a low priority bug? If
a less technically inclined person than me finds that they can't watch
movies in full screen in the default video player in their distro, they
might turn straight back to Windows/Mac, and tell everyone they know how
terrible this "Linux thing" their friend got them to try is…

Just a thought. User friendliness for normal PC users, so that as many
people as possible start using Linux, is really important to me :)

Title:
  Totem in full screen crashes Xorg

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I tried reporting this to Totem[1], but they assured me this is an
  issue with X.

  I've tried playing both mkv and avi files in Totem in a almost totally
  newly installed Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 64 bit, updated to Gnome 3.18 with
  the Gnome Staging PPA.

  Every time I play the files in full screen mode the screen turns black
  and I'm logged out of my session. When I log back in I see that all
  programs are closed.

  This happens at different times after going to full screen mode. Some
  times after a second, other times after a few minutes.

  It only happens in full screen, I can play the video for as long as I
  want if I don't go full screen. It also only happens in Totem, I don't
  experience it in full screen in VLC.

  I don't know how to find the log files from the crash, but please let
  me know how to do that if it can help.

  This is quite critical for the adaptation of (Ubuntu) Gnome. Non
  technical people will soon give up Linux if their first meeting with
  it is that they can't play videos in full screen mode (they won't
  think of the possibility of installing some other video player). So I
  hope you will look into this closely even though it's a bit vague. If
  there's anything I can do to help, please let me know!

  Thanks!
