As said before, you can define the fullscreen coordinates outside the
physical screen:

--------------------------------------------------
(defun get-fullscreen-size ()
  "Return the size of root child (values rx ry rw rh)
You can tweak this to what you want"
  (values (- (* *border-size* 2))
          (- (* *border-size* 2))
          (+ (xlib:screen-width *screen*) (* *border-size* 2))
          (+ (xlib:screen-height *screen*) (* *border-size* 2))))
--------------------------------------------------

Another (not permanent) solution is to enter in the mplayer window and
make it the root-frame (select it with the up key and enter in it with
alt+enter).

BTW on a single physical screen, here on my box, mplayer starts without
border lines (with the -fs option if needed).

It's more tricky with a dual screen and there is some work to be done on
this part. I've made some changes recently to ease dual screen usage.

Please, try the solutions above and will see if there is a need to
handle mplayer specifically (not sure from my every day usage).
