Got that fixed. I just disabled startup feedback from within the
filetypes. Didn't even think about that. Thanks for the pointer.

And I compiled it myself from svn a couple of days ago.

This only happens with gmplayer whether it is launched from the
command line or by doubleclicking a file. Running mplayer
videofile.mpg hides the mouse properly.

The mouse pointer stays until I move the mouse.
