Clearing the screen

I am working on a GTK app that plays smpeg video in a gtk window. So far
it is working well, but there is one small problem: the SDL screen
flashes black when I call SDL_SetVideoMode() (which gets called every
time I play a new video). It is a momentary flash and it is quickly
corrected, so it is not a critical problem, however it is an undesirable
effect. Does anyone know how to get around this? Is it possible to
resize the SDL screen without calling SDL_SetVideoMode()?

Nope, not at the moment.–
