How? "image" is a static variable and all external accesses to it have
been guarded in my patch.

The net effect is nearly identical to mine; no segfaults any more:-)
However there are two small pitfalls:

1. If mplayer is the activated window before screensaving, then after
recovered from screensaver mplayer will always be set on top
regardless of previous settings. I guess you asked me about a line in
my patch related to this:-)
2. If mplayer isn't the activated window before screensaving, then
after recovered from screensaver mplayer will have a black window; you
have to activate it to see video come back again.

BTW: maybe the error message about rendering to a hidden surface can
be shown only once instead of flushing the console.
