(Ok, I did the requisite 10 minutes googling)
Upgraded my Edgy box to Feisty. Now mplayer pops up stupid nags when I play videos.
Stuff as senseless as letting me know it can't disable the screensaver (because I have it killed atm, duh!)
or, it's missing a keyframe (but will continue playing without interruption, no problem)
or, some such filter/codec/whatnot is missing but it's not a problem so it's ignoring it.
If it's not a problem, and it's ignoring it, wtf does it have to pop up a notice that then has to be dismissed?
Looked through the conf, didn't see any reference to Windows annoyances...
How to stop the pop ups!?

(Don't even get me started on Hardy. Guy can't even blow up x anymore. Fixes itself. Where's the fun in that? *g*)
