   Yes, I still run with the last stable version of KDE, have one of those beta   
   unstable installed too, but don't use it due of the number of serious bugs.

   It's not the windowed mplayer I have problem, but when I go to full screen   
   mode (press f), this is when it thinks the screen is 120 pixels larger than it   
   is, so I don't see the whole image.   
      
   Of course I could set my :0.0 to be 1920x1080, but then I loose 120pixel and   
   the proportions gets wrong (circles becomes ecliptic).
