Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

While i like totem, i would wish it doesn't popup any message windows at all.

Please just add a status bar top/bottom/in-screen (user-setting) and show any error messages in that.
If it's fatal, give the bar a red background.

Right now, some videos (sometimes when skipping with mousewheel) get regular messages about nonfatal errors in the stream.
It's annoying that this is done so intrusively.
