This is not a problem as vo_directfb can still create windows itself. My
proposal is only
for the vos that share their window handling code. Look at the
ontop/fullscreen
/eventhandling/windowcreation code in vo x11, xv, xvidix, xover,gl, gl2 and
on the windows
side gl2, directx, winvidix. That are imho things that do not belong in the
vos. The vos ideally
should only export their buffers and display the buffer content based on
given x,y,widht,height and
colorkey. At least when it comes to the windowed vos...
