Xv is available, but Totem fails to correctly refresh the colorkey
rectangle (or something like that: when you resize the window, the video
flashes briefly then turns back to black).

At least that's what I observed with compiz, beryl 0.1.* and beryl
0.2.0rc2 (radeon r300, xorg-xserver 1.1 and 1.2).

Note that Xine and Mplayer have no problem.
