Xine often doesn't exit, giving a perpetual black screen

Question

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Xine. Often times when it's supposed to exit (either by command or when the file is done) the process lingers and the screen stays black. If I started it from a terminal I have to do ctrl-c to get it to close and give me back my desktop. Otherwise, I have to alt-F2 to another VT and close it.
When it's in this state, alt tabbing doesn't even work. It shows the window list, but no matter what app you select, the screen stays black.
Googling doesn't really reveal anything. Anybody got an idea?

I use KDE and whether or not I use it's compositing option doesn't matter. I also use the default skin.

Henkidefix, do you have a 64 bit system? What is your graphical hardware? Which driver?
