I have the exact same configuration and problem.  I haven't found a real 
solution, but i found that if i use xine thusly:

export DISPLAY=:0.1
xine -f foo.avi

The fullscreen video output is correctly "on top of" the KDE desktop and 
panel.  MPlayer for some reason doesn't correctly do fullscreen on a 
second X display.

Please let me know if you find out how to work this with MPlayer.

Thanks,
mike
