I have been messing around in this area way too many times. It seems that mplayer sets bogus aspect ratio hints (the ones that were appropriate for the window before fullscreening) which e16 obeys, causing the problem. I have committed a fix so that aspect ratio hints are ignored when fullscreening. > > There is another full-screen xinerama oddity involving flash > videos.

New fullscreen windows are placed on the screen where its window top left corner is placed at MapReqest time, most likely 0,0, i.e. on the left xinerama screen. I'm not sure there is a sane way to change behavior to what you expect. > I hope it doesn't seem like I'm complaining too much. E16 is an > absolutely delightful WM.
