Bug in xine-ui, I created a fix a long time ago and it should have made
it upstream. I think that putting "SharedPixmaps off" in ~/.imrc will
workaround the problem.

Support for XV images with width that is not a multiple of 8 was broken
in Xgl. This is probably related to that. I just fixed this so please
give latest CVS version of Xgl a try and let me know if it's still not
working correctly.

Is this still a problem with latest CVS version of compiz?
