I am using Ubuntu 11.10; Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic with Gnome 3.2.1

Yesterday I was browsing through the totem plugins and accidentally hit activate on the dbus plugin. When I started Totem after that, it showed the UI for like a second and then quit. I ran it in terminal and got the following error output:

(totem:3808): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Property 'object' on class
'ZeitgeistDpPlugin' has type 'TotemObject' which is different from the type 
'GObject', of the property on interface 'PeasActivatable'

Segmentation fault

I don't really get what it's trying to tell me...though I am pretty sure that I messed up something by turning on that plugin.

So I would like to know how to deactivate it again...outside of totem. I would also like to know what actually caused the failure.

The problem can be fixed by deleting the dbus folder in the /usr/lib/totem/plugins directory.

If there is another more elegant way to do this please comment...
