Simplest would be to write a simple x app that does exactly the same calls
to the xlib as mplayer and see where it crashes.

Not really, altough i remember quite a few bugs in the handling of -fs and "f"
which broke one but not the other.

All x11 common functions are in x11_common.c, just specific stuff is in 
vo_x*.c.
