Small update to the situation.

I am also having xine crash when switching between fullscreen and window modes.
For me, 9.10 (xubuntu and ubuntu same) there is something wrong with the video system.

After four days trying to get 9.10 to work. I have given up and moved back to 9.04.
(9.04 (xubuntu and ubuntu) work flawlessly on this machine - Setup as a Jukebox)
(Also Grub2 was a disaster on this machine. And required non trivial fixes or workarounds)

Notes:
Machine is old 933mhz with 640mb ram. Hence the use of xubuntu.
It is running GeForce2 video with 32mb of ram. (Uses the legacy 96 NVidia drivers)

Other notes: (On the 9.10 system)
I tried Compiling Banshee from source. Still same problem. (Infact same version)
I tried Compiling GStreamer-Ugly. As there was a newer revision. Still same problem.
I tried Compiling GStreamer-Bad. But gave up at that point and went back to 9.04.

Other comments:
9.10 DOES boot faster. And the xfce desktop loads quicker (Even seems a bit snappier).
But as mentioned - Currently has issues - Big enough to warrant NOT upgrading (yet).
