I disagree! You are only wasting valuable developers time by filing
duplicate non-critical issues!

There are enough critical issues filed that prevents from users from
booting into graphical interface or failing to boot in vesa mode and
such. I have ATI hardware and I'm one of those users that can;t can't
install via GUI.

Having to watch movie while compiz is wnabled is a privilege and will
eventually get fixed  when Fc10 is out the door.

Instead of wasting everyoine's time by filinf duplicate bugs,
developers would ap[reciate as much information you can provide.
Enable kerbel debug, mplayer debug and provide as much information as
you can on the issue you have already filed/
