I've noticed this too on my tv-out:

export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1
export __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=TV-0
mplayer -vo gl2 -fs -double -display :0.1 foo.avi

...gives a fullscreen image, but where the black bars for the 
letterboxed image should be, i see a flickering of the desktop.  When i 
just go

mplayer -vo gl2 -fs foo.avi

to have it play on my monitor, it also flickers the desktop.  However, 
when i eliminate -fs, and simply hit 'F'ullscreen during the playback, 
it's fine.  The bars are black.
