I'll look at it again and see what I can do different.
How should mplayer decide to load it?
Is the addition of that new flag a bad idea?

Yeah, I hate that.  I always always recompile the gif library to
get rid of Xlib deps.  It's _one_ function in libgif that allows
it to interact directly with X, and I don't think anybody uses it.
Sorry I never came across that in my testing.

Thanks, I'll see if I can figure out the problem.
