The problem is not resolved. While gst-launch gets the aspect ratio correct all the time, totem doesn't. When set to "automatic", it distorts most but not all films from 4:3 to something super-wide like 8:3 (estimated, but wider than 16:9).
Manual setting of the aspect ratio to 4:3 sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't.
This has nothing to do with rotation, so we can change the title of the bug.
