Bug#723657: -geometry not fully honoured

Package: mplayer2
Version: 2.0-554-gf63dbad-1+b1
Severity: minor

When mplayer is started up with a -geometry option that specifies a
position for the window (e.g., "-geometry +0+0"), it fails to set the
USPosition hint bit that tells the window manager that the position was
supplied by the user.  The result is that a window manager that applies
its own positioning logic in preference to program-supplied positions,
but honours user-supplied positions, will override the user-supplied
position with mplayer.  The same goes for the USSize hint.
