Fine, here are some results. It seems the issue is related to XVideo extension and Compiz.
Window Manager Compiz - Totem[1] (using "ximagesink") -> no issue - Totem (using "xvimagesink" or "autovideosink") -> issue - Totem (using "xvimagesink device=0"[2]) -> issue - VLC (XV output in prefs) -> issue - VLC (X11 output in prefs) -> no issue - VLC (ascii art output) -> no issue - mplayer -vo gl|gl2|x11 -> no issue - mplayer -vo xv -> issue (BTW it's the default one when no -vo is provided) Window Manager Metacity All applications work fine with any video output. I could perfom more tests using free Ati driver, but I can't enable Compiz with them, so I suppose it's not useful.
