[Bug 475375] [NEW] Can't play videos in kaffeine, dragon player, gwenview and smplayer using the "xv" driver after running cairo-dock

[Marcelo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cairo-dock

After running cairo-dock (with opengl support) in KDE 4.3.2 (Kubuntu
9.10), it is no longer possible to play videos in kaffeine, dragon
player, gwenview and smplayer using the "xv" video driver. smplayer can
still play videos if I switch to "gl" or "gl2" video drivers. I can hear
the sound and the progress bar moves as if the video was playing, but
there is no image. With desktop effects on, the area of the window where
the video should be displayed in these applications is shown as a
transparent gray rectangle. With desktop effects off, it is a solid
black rectangle.

Strangely enough, mplayer and xine can still play videos using the "xv"
driver if I run them directly, but not if embedded in the above
mentioned front ends (and others).

Everything gets back to normal if I log out KDE and then log in again
without running cairo-dock.

I have a nvidia 9600GT video card and am running the proprietary driver
from ubuntu repos.
