Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

With the -vo gl driver, and any video file, playing the file in mplayer makes the video stay above other windows, even when you switch to another window. The window decorations don't stay above other windows when I switch to another window, but the video itself does - regardless of whether it's paused or not.

I am running Kubuntu inside VirtualBox, with VirtualBox Guest Additions installed, so it's using VirtualBox's X driver and OpenGL "pass through" support. However, I'm not sure this bug is VirtualBox's fault, since glxgears doesn't exhibit this bug.
