Under fvwm2 (x11-wm/fvwm-2.5.8-r6), mplayer (media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre4) failed to return to proper size after fullscreen. Instead of returning to original size, window is set to maximal width and keep aspect ratio. I traced problem to change in vo_x11_sizehint. In 0.92, mplayer didn't set vo_hint.flags |= PMinSize and it work fine. In 1.0, mplayer did set vo_hint.flags |= PMinSize and this is result. I don't know if error is in fvwm, mplayer or both, but for me return to original mplayer behavior works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run X with fvwm as window manager 2. run mplayer on film smaller that desktop without zoom 3. toggle it fullscreen 4. toggle it back Actual Results: mplayer window is set to maximal width and keep aspect ratio. Expected Results: mplayer window should have same size as before fullscreen.

Please try out the patch in #43010- the sooner the better (the 1.0_pre* patch is slated for inclussion soon).
There was a mention of this on the fvwm mailing list about a week ago, IIRC, there is some ambiguity in the standards, and the mplayer guys changed their mind about what it meant. I think the conclusion was there is room for both interpretations and a patch was committed..so the next version of fvwm will interact with the new mplayer correctly.
fvwm is at 2.5.12 right now, so I'm closing this bug since it was stated that MPlayer would correctly interact with fvwm. If this is not the case, please re-open the bug.
