Public bug reported:

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!
