I've seen the same problem. What (I think) is happening is that Xine stops responding, so the childapp autokills the process. Unlike mplayer, xine doesn't release the screen when killed (because it uses the framebuffer, rather than mga_vid on my system)
So it's a combination of xine, and a childapp reaper which is perhaps a little too eager.
