Closing MPlayer with KDE makes terminals stop working properly

[drscotsman@…]

When I am playing a video (file type is irrelevent) with MPlayer, and I close it
either with Alt+F4 or by pressing the close button in the Window decorations
(both cases are using KDE for this) the terminal stops working properly. For
example (most of the numbers differ)

"VO: [xv] 400x288 => 400x288 Planar YV12
A: 2.6 V: 2.6 A-V: -0.008 ct: -0.016 66/ 66 3% 1% 0.5% 3 0 98%

MPlayer interrupted by signal 15 in module: sleep_usleep
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"

after 140 requests (138 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

sh-3.00$ sh-3.00$ sh-3.00$ sh-3.00$ sh-3.00$"

Sometimes a different error is displayed instead of the XIO: fatal IO error

"X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)."

The line of "sh-3.00$"s is caused by me pressing return after returning to the
prompt and attempting to make a line break. Also terminal input is not
displayed i.e. pressing up to display the previous command has no effect, and
typing any new commands has no effect. However the input is still taken in i.e.
typing "ls" and pressing return still carries out the ls command, even though ls
is not displayed in the terminal.

The terminal messes up using both sh and bash, and using both KDE's Konsole and
Xterm. Unfortunatly I don't have MPlayer working in a terminal with
framebuffer, so I can only test with these terminal emulators. I have only
tested this in KDE.

Here is information of my system from the ver_linux script:

"Linux ryan 2.6.10-rc3 #1 Sat Dec 18 20:30:52 GMT 2004 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP

And here is MPlayer's output on how it was compiled:

"MPlayer 1.0pre5-3.4.1 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team

I have not experienced this problem with any other Linux kernel. I have used
2.6.9 and 2.6.10-rc1 without problems.

Even if this is fixed you should quit MPlayer by pressing q, not by sending it
SIGTERM (which is what KDE does, which I btw. find extremely stupid. Fluxbox
just doesn't show a close button for applications that don't support it).
Processing this correctly is probably more work than it's worth.
Also, please provide a full mplayer -v log, as e.g. "killall mplayer" doesn't
break my terminal (maybe try pre6).
Both using gmplayer or using -vo sdl will fix it as well, because they support
the close button.

MPlayer now catches SIGPIPE, it seems to me this should fix it. Please try with
very latest CVS and report back.
