I understand that to be the case. However, I don't want to run a window manager just to get mplayer to behave correctly. My previous setup was a dual 400MHz PII - adding a window manager to the mix added unnecessary complexity and maintenance. I squeezed it for every ounce of memory and CPU :) Now that I have upgraded, at some point I might add a window manager. Regardless, it seems to me that it should work correctly without one. Requiring a window manager to manage a full screen app seems sloppy. Heck, someday I would like to get rid of X completely use embedded QT. The entire X windowing system along with a window manager is overkill for a single purpose pvr/media box.
