Yes, -vf crop worked.

I simply did 'gmplayer -monitoraspect 1.6666 -vf cropdetect', took it's
suggestion, and then re-ran with '-vf crop'.

However, now there is a new problem.  

When the video source begins playing, the output window is automagically
cropped to the correct size.  Then, when I go fullscreen, everything is
beautiful.

When I return from fullscreen, the output window anchors itself such
that the titlebar is out of position, and thus the window cannot be
moved.

The window controls are still there, so resize is possible.  However,
even when I try to reposition the window in the pager (xfce), the window
snaps back to 0,0 with it's title bar still out of site.  

Any suggestions there?
