Mouse locked during playback when ~/.lircrc exists

Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

Well the summary says it all: the mouse is locked in the middle of the screen anytime I run mplayer while the ~/.lircrc exists.

To reproduce it just
$ touch ~/.lircrc
$ mplayer some_file.avi

This happens even when running mplayer-plugin

#38594 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347792 seem related.

I'm running on a feisty PIV machine using the radeon xorg driver on a ati 9600
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AQ [Radeon 9600]

as a temporary solution I added the line

lircconf=/does/not/exist

to ~/mplayer/config

Maybe the problem is not in the players but in xorg: I tried many video output (sdl, x11, xv) and none works

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?
