Bug#537540: mplayer: does not redraw for videos with constant images

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: mplayer
Version: 1.0~rc3+svn20090405-1
Severity: minor

Actions taken:
Play a video with long constant images. This property holds for certain
music videos on youtube.com. mplayer can nicely be combined with
youtube-dl to play such a video. Then do one of the following things:
1) Resize mplayer.
2) Move the window.
3) Make mplayer not visible and visible again (switching desktops for
   instance).
Window manager in use is fluxbox.

Expected behaviour:
The window should contain the video.

Observed behaviour:
The window remains black for some time (probably until a mainframe
occurs).
