"remember window size" option causes problems including crashes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

- enable the option to remember window size
- open an audio file
- the window will enlarge to include a black area where there would be a video 
if it was a video file

Clearly it is not detecting audio files for some reason.

Also, with the option "remember window size" still enabled, enable  
"View>Playlist" and "View>Media Info", and play a file.  Gnome-mplayer tries to 
create a huge window - so big that it crashes:

The program 'gnome-mplayer' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 326566 error_code 8 request_code 59 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
