I remembered wrong.
When I got the error message, I didn't get audio,
but I did get an inoperable control thingie.
Sometimes, the video window wouldn't show at all.
In those cases, I got audio and a control thingie.
Sorry about the misinformation.

x11 didn't work.
I'll try the others when I get home.
Is there a reason the failure would be specific to gmplayer?
I was under the impression that they both drove the same backend.
Can I use -vo instead of the tab?
Even with mplayer,
there was colored flicering crud at the bottom of the window.
I also tried kmplayer.
Wheeee!
No vertical hold.
