I'm reopening this bug and confirming, as a few other people (previous comments) and I have noticed this issue in both the GUI and non-GUI versions of mplayer. It's particularly annoying with gnome-screensaver because for some reason, it does not recognize any input from the keyboard/mouse while fading in while mplayer is running. It works properly otherwise.
