Mplayer issue (not the one in the faq)

Hello,
Screenshot: http://jesgue.homelinux.org/other-files/xmonad-vs-mplayer.jpg
mplayer doesn't obey the default layout (I am not floating it in my xmonad.hs).
It starts on a normal size (not fullscreen), then I focus the window and press
'f' to put it fullscreen. The problem is that the mplayer window traverses
the screen borders, as you can see. A small portion of it appears over the
firefox window which is entirely into the other monitor.
I know I could use another player. But I was wondering if this is a known issue
and if there's a workaround or something. The only bit about mplayer in my config
is:
, className =? "MPlayer" --> doF (W.shift "mplayer")
To spawn it in a given workspace. As I said, no doFloat nor any equivalent thing
is present. I have tried -just in case- the solution I found for neverwinter in
my other thread, but those issues are clearly unrelated, so it didn't works, as
I hoped it wouldn't.
Cheers.

this isn't spamming... at least not in my opinion! Anthony Parks wrote:

Hello Jesús!
, className =? "MPlayer" --> doF (W.shift "mplayer")
Just a tip that is not related to your problem: doShift :: WorkspaceId -> ManageHook doShift = doF . W.shift This code could be simply: , className =? "MPlayer" -> doShift "mplayer" Good luck. -- Marco Túlio Gontijo e Silva Página: http://marcotmarcot.googlepages.com/ Blog: http://marcotmarcot.wordpress.com/ Correio: marcot@riseup.net XMPP: marcot@jabber.org IRC: marcot@irc.freenode.net Telefone: 25151920 Celular: 98116720 Endereço: Rua Turfa, 639/701 Prado 30410-370 Belo Horizonte/MG Brasil

This code could be simply:
, className =? "MPlayer" -> doShift "mplayer"
Good luck.
I am beginning to understand haskell a bit better. Nice tip, it certainly
clears a bit my config file.
Thank you.
