[waimea] waimea 0.5.0 & mplayer crash

[Andy Herrman]

This might be relevant (taken from gentoo-user):

"Just to warn you, there is currently a rather nasty Xvideo bug in Xorg. 
It seems that one of the XFree developers made a Nvidia only fix in 
4.3.903 or something like that, and it broke the way Xv allocates 
memory. It got moved over into the Xorg code and it hasn't worked its 
way out yet. If you watch videos with MPlayer, Xine, etc. or tend to 
have a lot of windows open, you might want to wait to make the switch 
until the bug gets squashed. "

Not sure if that bug has been squashed yet.
