Comment 4 for bug 455073

I can confirm this with some additional details:
- the mouse pointer behaves like this also on the "black borders", if the option is turned on in smplayer
- if you launch smplayer, open a movie, and then do not touch the mouse after it starts playing, the pointer behaves normally. Once the mouse pointer is moved, the mouse pointer keeps popping up every every 30 secs or so while smplayer is running.
- in Jaunty the bug was not present.
it is version 0.6.8 as well as the one in the Karmic repos.
