Yes it was TWM, (later I remembered how to search the installed packages) so
i installed matchbox instead, that works better now, dont have to click
anymore, and the window always displays fullscreen by default. But, a)
theres still the window title bar i want to get rid of, and also now the
problem that mplayer (or the windows manager) ignore the dscale flag, so the
picture is always fullscreen, which is not desirable with a 4:3 video on a
16:9 screen.

Maybe I should try another wm, I do want a very small and compact one
though. Maybe matchbox (for embedded systems on palmsized screens) was
aiming for a little too simple though :-) Any suggestions? There are so
many, in 10 years Linux I've never worked with anything but ssh textscreens
so I have no idea what wm is good for what...

Did you miss the fact that my xv problem is solved? It was "System V IPC"
not having been enabled in the kernel. Unless you meant the BadValue Window
problem when trying fullscreen?
