Comment (by u ltd.):

 '''Comment 1:''' related to #1401

 '''Comment 2:''' This happened in xterm on the graphical tty (tty7) in
 KDE4:

 The interesting thing is that I don't see this text but I see the last
 non-graphical tty I visited.
 Nevertheless I am on tty7 and all key presses go to KDE4 environment. I
 have to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back the graphical view.
 Please mind that this happens independent of the use of the -nodisp ffplay
 flag.
