No biggie. I know you can give a path to individual files and
I just tested and confirmed that you can name multiple files
on the commandline so:

cvs diff -u programs/mythfrontend/globalsettings.cpp libs/libmythtv/tv_play.cpp

would do the trick =).

Actually, this feature used to exist before a big advancement
in the window handling back around 0.9 or 0.10. Keyframes matter
during decoding but the Xv resize can happen on any frame. It
would need to change the window size and Xv parameters at the
same time and do the right thing (if anything) for video outputs
other than Xv.

I'll just keep this on my to do list ;-).
