I've done some more testing and I believe the green frame issue may be 
related to the native window creation rather than any particular idle or 
fixed-vo stuff.  I found that the issue could be duplicated by anything 
that creates a new window, changing the aspect ratio for example, in 
addition to loading a new file (all the testing was done in slave mode - 
don't know if this affects anything though).  Is it possible that a bug 
was fixed at some point in the past in the window setup code for the 
initial window creation that didn't carry over to other instances of 
window creation?

thanks,
