Hi Minh,

        First - thanks for all the fixes :-)

        Great; so from our IRC conversation, here are the remaining bugs /
issues that I can see:

        + video scaling
                + you've implemented the hard-coded 50% / 100% / 200%
                  zooming nicely; but we need 'scaling' (IMHO this
                  should be the default)
                + be more ideal to have a black vs. a grey background
                  too where the video is smaller than the window,

        + mis-placing windows on F9 presentation
                + I load flying-boy.odp and get a grey window
                  mis-aligned with the video:

                http://www.gnome.org/~michael/vlc1.png

                  which is odd, drawing a rectangle around the scaled
                  video and then hitting presenting mode shows:

                http://www.gnome.org/~michael/vlc3.png

                  seems like the video is correctly positioned, albeit
                  not scaled (cf. above) but that other X window is
                  mis-positioned.

        + Projecting video
                Of course the primary use of video is to project it.
                Unfortunately, we're not getting the display / screen
                right for the multi-head presentation mode: ie. plug a
                VGA into your laptop, and don't clone the monitors:
                 
                http://www.gnome.org/~michael/vlc4.png

                In theory we should have two concurrent displays of the
                video, one on each screen (when that is requested),
                although having just one on the presentation screen is
                fine too.

        Otherwise, this starts to look & behave quite well :-) naturally this
needs testing on Windows too (which is the primary platform for this),
but this is encouraging progress.

        Thanks Minh !

                Michael.
