mplayer send standard NETWM hints but it seems that metacity doens't like or
handle standard way them...

dunno about xine, but sdl does a big hack for fs, it opens a new window in
fullscreen and switch between teh window-window and the fs-window.

dunno, i'm not x11 expert, opntscho should comment on this.
they should look at x11_common.c's vo_x11_fullscreen()

you can probably experiment with the old -fsmode-dontuse switch, also with
the -icelayer - they tune/enable experimental or workaround code...

sorry we're tired workarounding every wm's bugs.
