Bug#399292: mplayer: MPlayer rc1 can't be properly scaled by WM on start

[Alexander Dorokhine]

Hi, Eckhart;

Good question. I believe this used to be the case in the past (but I might
still be mistaken). Right now, it is not the case.

My current with Kwin 4.5.1 shows the mplayer window at movie size
immediately. I even ran kwin and mplayer with very high niceness under heavy
CPU load to slow them down as much as possible. I could not see at any time
that the mplayer window painted full screen. It is movie-sized immediately.

Also, I notice that the left window border is not painted on this window [it
is see-through] Don't know if this is related to the sizing.

Cheers,
Alexander.
