Yes, with a widescreen monitor its a very neat feature to use.

For mplayer the particular behaviour I was talking about is kind of moot 
as the window with the video closes when the video ends. So there is no 
unnecessary windows hanging around. But usually for the other players, 
they still hang around staying "on top". Totem is smart enough to know 
the video has stopped playing, hence no point in staying on top of all 
the other windows. :) So intuitive!
