Mplayer supports at least the following kinds of full screen modes:
* complete wm override ("real", albeit undesirable full screen mode)
* set mwm border hints to none and resize/move the window to match
screen ("fake" full screen mode)
Ion detects attempts to switch to fake full screen mode* and creates a new
workspace for the window. Whatever mplayer driver you're using (I couldn't
get the effect) probably does not set the window to full screen size but to
the actual resolution. Ion can not detect this as a fake full screen mode
attempt because it does not and certainly will not support the xf86vidmode
extension. (One fixed video mode should be enough these days with TFT:s,
hardware scaling and all.)
[*] Unfortunately mplayer (xv driver), the only xinerama aware full screen
app I know of, does not set window position with the same call as window
size, and the choice of xinerama screen is therefore arbitrary if there
are multiple xinerama screens with the same size.
