Not a bug but more of an annoyance

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play any video
2. Seek anywhere in the video

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When clicking anywhere on the progress bar the progress "marker" is to the
right of where I clicked. I expect it to be right under where I clicked!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.9.2 on Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
I attached a screenshot if it helps explain it a little better, the red dot
on the progress bar is where I clicked.

Some media cannot be seeked to exactly in mplayer, we tell it where we would 
like to
go and then mplayer tells us where it ended up. Also when you are about to 
click give
it a second and it will show you a timestamp, after you click you will find the
timestamp is usually very close to where you clicked. I just tried this with an 
mp3
file and it worked correctly.

I understand this but when clicking and holding the slider and dragging it 
either
left or right the cursor position shifts to the left or right depending on 
which way
you move the slider.

Might be a GTK issue then or a theme issue. The slider is positioned based on 
the
selected seconds into the media based on a percentage of the total media 
length. So
we just tell it to go to so if the media is 200 seconds long and we seek to 30
seconds in, we tell the bar to go to 15%. I'll take a look, but I am pretty 
sure that
is what we are doing.

On the theme I use (inverted), seeking to the middle puts the thumb right where 
I
click and as I move more to the left or right I see what you are stating. Might 
try
different themes and see if that alters it.

Its probably a GTK issue then, the way you said that the slider position is
determined isn't wrong or bad but maybe other players do it a different way.
