Thanks all of you for your suggestions and explanations. :- ) I've
tried the opaque window movement option as recommended, and yes, video
playback is not halted during window movement but still is during window
resizing. Can you show me where I can learn more about the bug mentioned
(like the discussion was mentioned)? Is it in the mailing-list archives?
Thanks again for all of your help! : )
