No xcompmgr, and the Composite extension is disabled.  Integrated Intel
i845 chipset with the i810 driver.

Audio sink is ALSA, Video sink is XWindows (X11/Xshm/Xv).  If I try
Xwindows (no Xv) I get no display at all (the video box on Totem is not
displayed).  If I try SDL, the video widget doesn't seem to ever get
redrawn - it just gets various window trash drawn onto it and that is
never cleared up.

Switching the audio sink had no effect; the visual problem persisted.
(Figured I'd test that just in case.)
