Reimar,

I have this now supported in gnome-mplayer in my working tree, I had to
add the -fs option to my mplayer command line and hook the w and e keys
to alter the panscan setting and a minor change to my widget layout
code. However, I have one problem that I can't seem to figure out.

When I take my player fullscreen, by using gtk_window_fullscreen (not
the window that mplayer is drawing to, but the window that contains the
widget (gtk_plug) that I am drawing to). So as far as the widget that
mplayer is drawing to knows, it is just getting really big. Once I do
that, the panscan option quits working and I if I try to get the
property I get this message

ERROR: Failed to get value of property 'panscan'.


Example:

Have a wide screen video and then set gnome-mplayer to a more squareish
ratio (I then have black bars on top and bottom). I can use w/e keys to
adjust the panscan and get an image that has smaller black bars. Go
fullscreen and the video seems to lose the ability to adjust the
panscan. And rather than having upper and lower blackbars it fills the
- -wid window. May have something to do with the container window being
fullscreen. If I just use the window managers maximize function, I don't
have this issue. Although the window is not truly fullscreen at this point.

Thanks,

Kevin
