[Bug 410837] [NEW] Video flickers in full screen while controls appear/disappear when desktop effects are enabled

[LoonyPhoenix]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On Karmic with latest updates, video in full screen in Totem and
Smplayer start to flicker when you move the mouse because it causes the
controls to appear and then flickers again when the controls disappear.
While flickering, the desktop behind the video would occasionally show
up.

When I turn off compiz the flickering disappears. There is also no
flickering with metacity with compositing enabled; none with mutter
either (I have a testing copy of gnome-shell). But the flicker reappears
with kwin with compositing enabled.
