422: revert Gxine?

There are reports of full-screen problems with Gxine 0.5.904. So, should I revert to our trusty version 0.5.9, that we have been using for ages (including pup 412).

"I have no movies with me right now to try the latest version. However, I can say that I had seen the full screen issue before with 0.5.9. I later found that if I maximized the window first, THEN selected full screen, it would play normally. At the time, I'd chalked it up as a bug I could live with.

"what we are discussing about is gXine 0.5.94 in 430prebeta, which cannot have full screen from terminal command: #gxine -f mms://your.stream.url.here but can use fullscreen by opening in normal GUI and toggle F key In previous gxine 0.5.9 we can use fullscreen from command line/terminal. Note: in 430prebeta we have a pacthed JWM for fullscreen, and it worked fine.

"Tried both 4.12 & 4.22 with a 685Meg avi movie. Both show a noticeable flicker every 4 seconds when full screen, both play normally with no flicker when just maximized. Puppy 4.12 (Gxine0.5.9) doesn't fullscreen properly without maximizing first. Trying FS makes the movie occupy both desktops until it's closed. Puppy 4.22 (0.5.904) does go fullscreen from a window. Playback appears the same to me. (Dual P4,1.86GHz,2Gram,1280x1024)
