Ulf,
If I understand right, you always want mplayer visible on your second 
monitor.  In that case the "problem" lies in how xinerama and twinview are 
utilized through the Xserver.  However I think all you really need to do is 
select "Always on visible workspace" from the mplayer window that is open 
and it'll always be there (this should be an option if you left click on the 
title bar).  Try that, see if thats what you mean.

Cheers,
Andrew
