Love Totem

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share my delight when I found what the nifty "always on 
top" feature in Totem can do, confirming my already high opinions of the 
player.

I like to have some video playing in one of the corners of my screen 
while I work, and the "always on top" feature in Totem is ideal for 
that. I had so far noticed Totem would automatically move to the 
background whenever it was done playing some video with the "always on 
top" feature enabled. None of the other players I am familiar with does 
that. And I loved it for that! Especially considering some players like 
VLC even refuse to go fullscreen in a sane manner with not-so-popular 
window managers like WindowMaker when always on top is enabled.

Today I was pleasantly surprised when I found Totem didn't stay on top 
even if the feature is turned on when it is playing just audio! This is 
*beautiful* design. Also love the fact that it is so light weight and 
functional in almost all its design aspects. It is truly a simple "Movie 
Player". ;)

With totem and cli mplayer what else does anyone need? :)

PS: Sorry if people find this post OT.
