Xine, because it's very light and it was included in slackware before Mplayer

Xine. I used to use mplayer, but the framerate is much smoother in Xine.

Mostly VLC, but I do use MPlayer sometimes. I do not have a problem with VLC in 4.3.3?

Your fullscreen works without showing the kde panels?

Yea - I just tried it with a short clip of the Army Beach Boys. No panel showing anywhere.

VLC is the silver bullet for me, but I generally prefer mplayer, it seems lighter and faster somehow. Also without mplayer there would be no gecko-media plugin for streaming or vdpau support, although I heard its coming to VLC.

VLC 1.0.3 has a problem with full-screen in KDE 4.3.3 which supposedly is fixed in their GIT source code repository, but I have not yet found the commits that fix it.
