Resize window on video load had unwanted behavior when using small files on large screens

When I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 I got a new Totem version which includes a fix for bug #585598. While I applaud the fix for me it introduces some unwanted behavior. I have a video file which is 320x480 in size and my screen is 1680x1050. When I opened the video file with a previous Totem version it resized the window to 320x480 and now it resizes it to 640x960. My video file gets ugly and I have to resize the window every time. The previous behavior was a lot better in my opinion. Either an option should be provided to select a default zoom level to use when resizing on video load, or the current behavior should be revised. I think that bacon_video_widget_set_scale_ratio (bvw, 0); should be reverted back to the previous state: bacon_video_widget_set_scale_ratio (bvw, 1); and the code from bacon_video_widget_set_scale_ratio() should be modified to check whether 1 is possible. If not, it should handle the previous 0.0 case.
