Older versions of Ion did not support full screen mode apps unless they completely overrode the window manager. > When you're not in fullscreen mode, however, things get a bit worse. > First, mplayer has the usual problem with not checking what dimensions > it actually got but assumes it got the ones it asked for.

Some older versions indeed did have trouble, especially with .avi:s, but 1.0pre1-3.2.3 I have seems to work ok in windowed mode too. Even toggling full screen mode switching using the 'f' key works perfectly. (Well, for some reason it doesn't want to handle keys if the cursor isn't exactly in the video window or the terminal isn't active.) > Having a toggle to say "always open window with this class/name in this > frame" would be neat, for cases when you're playing lots of smaller > video files in a little corner (mplayer closes/reopens the window > between every file).
