Media Player Full Screen

I've noticed that whenever Media Player switches to fullscreen mode, desktop
compositing gets turned off automatically (usually taking a couple of seconds
while it switches), and then switching back when I leave full screen. I don't
see a reason for this, especially since I often dual screen with one screen
where I chat/browse and one showing a fullscreen video, and the RAM usage
never gets too high that it can't handle it. And desktop compositing remains
on when the video isn't full screened. I have 1gig ram, Ati Radeon 9700 Pro
and an Athlon XP 2200+.

Is there a way to disable this?

Re: Media Player Full Screen

Glass has detected a potential problem and disabled itself to avoid a bad
visual experience for the user. By all means report the bug and use the
recorder in the MBC to capture the effect. If you do not have the MBC
installed, you may get it here:
