If you enable opaque window movement, video playback continues while you're moving a window. But it is still halted when you resize them -- maybe if an option allowing redrawing of the window as it's being resized was added (go ahead, start the feeping-creaturism flames ;) it would solve the problem. -- Andrew Wentzell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7FF9E8AC
