[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Fix -geometry option

Hello,

on my system (GNU/Linux) the -geometry option doesn't work as
expected. In particular the following commands:

1) mplayer -geometry 50 file.avi
2) mplayer -geometry 50% file.avi

do the same thing, placing the window at the center of the screen. If
you use the -v option you can see a message like this:

"geometry set to width: -2147483648,height: -2147483648, xoff:
+-2147483648, yoff: +-2147483648, xper: 50, yper: -2147483648"

so the x value is always read as a percentage, and not as an offset in
the 1st case.
The same happens with:

3) mplayer -geometry 50:50 file.avi
4) mplayer -geometry 50:50% file.avi

(where the 3rd command doesn't work) and

5) mplayer -geometry 50%:50 file.avi
6) mplayer -geometry 50%:50% file.avi

(the 5th command doesn't work).

This patch fixes all the cases for me. Although, I'm not sure if there
is an easier/cleaner way to fix this issue.
