starts with zero height canvas instead of normal (1:1) size

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Kevin,

I'm forwarding another bug from the Debian bug tracker:

"I noticed that gnome-mplayer often starts playing a video with
an awkward zero-height canvas (== the area where the video is played,
I am not sure of the correct name for this part of the GUI window...).

As soon as I start the program:

  $ gnome-mplayer some-video.ogv

the canvas seems to have the correct width, but zero height.
Hence the video is played, but is not visible.

If I press [Ctrl+1], the canvas is resized to the video original
width and height and everything works fine.
Other resize commands are also able to fix this problem."

I was unable to reproduce the bug, so I hope that you could take a look at it.

Apparently the bug has vanished. Sorry for the noise.

I have seen it happen from time to time here. Really hard to duplicate and 
never predictable. Seems to have something to do with GTK initialization. I 
will look into it and see if I can do anything about it.
