hell, they don't survive alt-tabbing into a game that has a different resolution than the monitor

Heh... for some reason youtube can't survive when I start a video on my monitor and then I switch outputs to TV using an xrandr script by closing one output and opening the other. I thought it was possible to continue the video that way but once I noticed it doesn't work, it made sense immediately.

Mplayer and co, on the other hand can cope with it but my window manager can mess it up so I don't bother.
