Whole screen goes black for 1 second every time I start a video
99.99% of the times I start playing a video (not when I start playing again after a pause, but when I start a video by clicking on the file, dragging it onto VLC, og by going to Media -> Recent Media and clicking an entry there) the whole screen goes black for about one second, before returning to normal.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with all the latest updates and VLC 1.1.10. But it's been like this for as long as I can remember. It happens with VLC and UMPlayer 0.9 (I have not tried any other versions om UMPlayer), but not with Totem, Banshee or Miro 4.
