Hi, Eckhart; Good question. I believe this used to be the case in the past (but I might still be mistaken). Right now, it is not the case.
My current with Kwin 4.5.1 shows the mplayer window at movie size immediately. I even ran kwin and mplayer with very high niceness under heavy CPU load to slow them down as much as possible. I could not see at any time that the mplayer window painted full screen. It is movie-sized immediately. Also, I notice that the left window border is not painted on this window [it is see-through] Don't know if this is related to the sizing. Cheers, Alexander.
