Thanks Andrew, I was hoping it wasn't a driver issue.  xvinfo doesn't
output anything with "error" in it.  Is there anything in particular I
should be looking for?

By the way, another anomaly is if the video is not at full screen and
another window is brought to the front of it, the video part of the
window still stays in front while the window's border goes in back
like it should.
