I can't figure out what it is exactly. It doesn't appear to be  
entirely deterministic.

Cool.

Odd... I'm able to get it to happen most of the time. A key factor  
appears to be that holding down Enter when starting mplayer (so that  
the key is down when X11 gets deactivated) appears to aggravate it. If  
you're light on the keys, you might miss it.

I was able to reproduce the same issue once or twice with xev:

* Run xev.
* Switch to another application using Cmd-Tab.
* Switch back using Cmd-Tab.

A few times, on reentry to X11, I started getting a bunch of Meta_L  
KeyPress events, even though I'd already let go of the key. Again,  
though, it doesn't appear to be completely predictable.
