           Summary: mplayer blinks with disabled compositing
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tv at fuzzy.cz


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

When playing a movie with mplayer, it blinks (turns black for a while) under
two conditions:

1) the compositing is disabled
2) a bouncing cursor (displayed when an app is starting) is located in the
mplayer window

With compositing, it works just fine. Other players (e.g. dragon) work fine as
well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- play a movie with mplayer
- start an app (so that the bouncing icon is displayed)
- move the mouse over the mplayer window

Actual Results:  
The mplayer window blinks - instead of the movie, a black area is displayed
repeatedly (about twice per second).

Expected Results:  
No blinking.

Not sure if it's related, but I'm using nvidia driver 275.09.07 (but I've tried
to downgrade to 260.19.44 and it didn't help).
