What widget? It's just the window. MPlayer is not X-centric; all the X
code is isolated the the vo, so that those of us who don't want to put
up with the slowness of playing movies in X can use better things like
fb or mga_vid. This means that there is not currently any persistent
window that could be used. It would be possible to add such a thing
though, as I said. If you want it send a patch. :)
