Although the answers others have provided are probably what you 
need I would like to mention that I get the same thing after running 
win4lin in full screen mode. Logging out and restarting X seems to 
bring it back as it should.

A few weeks ago there were very good instructions provided - how to 
compile/install mplayer, if you want to view dvd's as well I suggest 
you track that message down
