VDPAU W/ compositing off equals no video

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load gnome-mplayer with a file 
2. observe that a grey box appears instead of video or if the video does
play, the video goes grey when making the program go full screen
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is the video. Instead you see a grey box

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Gnome-mplayer 0.98, updated Gentoo. Nvidia driver's

Please provide any additional information below.

I think this is an issue with having compositing turned off. This does not
happen when compositing is turned on.

What version of GTK do you have installed? It might be the same problem as 297

I was looking at that. I have 2.18.3. So I'll wait until 2.18.4 comes out on 
Gentoo
and then update here.

I can confirm the issue is fixed. Sorry it took so long, but Gentoo just 
released the
update. Thanks :)

I believed this was fixed, but have found that it has not been. It will more
regularly play the video in the window, however when full screen or when 
switching
windows the video becomes a gray block still.

Does it work with any other video out like xv, x11 or gl? Those all work fine 
for me.

Yes it works perfectly with XV. This is with VDPAU where it fails. I use VDPAU 
pretty
much exclusively.

When running in VDPAU mode if you maximize the window,not fullscreen, does it 
work
correctly?

Also gtk 2.18.6 appears to be out now, does that affect it any? Also what window
manager are you using and does changing it affect the display?

When in VDPAU mode, when I maximize the window, but not putting it into 
fullscreen,
it shows a corner of the window where the video had been playing before, but it 
is a
scaled portion, not the whole video. The rest of the screen is grey where the 
video
would be. Further, anytime anything goes over top of the video the area gets 
greyed out.

I'll test gtk+ 2.18.6 when it hits portage (gentoo). I use gnome w/ metacity. 
When I
enable compositing it works fine, but then VDPAU tears. Nvidia hasn't fixed the
tearing yet. Mplayer without gnome-mplayer works fine w/o compositing though.
