Totem isn't part of the Desktop modules for 2.4. It was considered at
some point but was dropped. I think the reason was the the gstreamer
backend wasn't good enough yet, and using the zine backend wasn't a
viable option because it would add a big dependency to the desktop. Or
something like that. Jeff?

The totem garball is still in the gnome directory. If you want it
installed, just cd to the directory and make install there.
