On os x it is possible to play video in a floating window, the dock or the
 desktop, and not play video in the main window.  When there is no video in
 the main window, it is just black and in the way of everything else.
 There is no way to minimize this window.  This patch "hides" the main
 window by making it 1x1 when playback is started.  When playback is
 stopped, the main window is restored to its original size.  I chose to
 make the window 1x1 instead of hiding it, because in order to receive
 keystrokes, the main window cannot be hidden.  This is my first attempt at
 a patch to the actual code of myth, please let me know everything I did
 wrong so I can fix it in the future.
