Bug#861583: -geometry and -fs not fully honoured

[Zefram]

Package: mplayer
Version: 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1+deb7u1
Severity: minor

When mplayer is started up with a -geometry option that specifies a
position for the window (e.g., "-geometry +0+0"), it fails to set the
USPosition hint bit that tells the window manager that the position was
supplied by the user.  The result is that a window manager that applies
its own positioning logic in preference to program-supplied positions, but
honours user-supplied positions, will initially override the user-supplied
position with mplayer.  The same goes for the USSize hint.  However,
immediately after the window has been placed by the window manager,
mplayer then moves the window itself, not quite to the position requested.

Something similar happens with the -fs (full-screen) option.  mplayer
initially puts up a window in the video's native size, with no USPosition
or USSize hints.  It then replaces that with a window that actually
functions as the requested full-screen arrangement.

In both cases, the user-specified geometry ought to be applied
immediately, with the hint bits set to let the window manager know that
it is user-specified.  Invocations where the user does not specify size
or position should continue to not set those bits, and should accept
whatever geometry the window manager imposes as a result.  mplayer should
never be moving or replacing the window after it has been mapped.
