In another thread, I read that the continuing playing video when switching tasks, is seen as an advantage. The post tells that when connected with TV-out, the video keeps on playing on the monitor, and the device can be used to browse the web or whatever.
I just tried it and indeed magically that works. I guess it's the XVideo causing that.
So, just not going back to the normal view, is also a possible fix. Also because if one task switches using ctrl+backspace, one could as well pause the video if that is desired, no?
