Comment(by nigel):

 I haven't managed to reproduce this - my dual head test machine currently
 crashes X when trying to display Xv video.

 Markus, I'm guessing that MythXOpenDisplay() isn't doing the right thing.
 Any chance of applying this patch:

 and providing mythfrontend -v playback,extra | egrep 'X|screen' output?
 (both runs, unless the output is identical)
