Try calling "gmplayer" instead of mplayer in your shortcut. That's
what's update-menus put in my menu.
BTW, does it run alright on your system? I have both stable and testing
installed (separately) on my computer and both segfault. If I start it
from my menu, it begins to load, a splash screen pops up and vanishes so
quickly that I cannot see what it says. If I start gmplayer under X, or
mplayer from the console, it reports a segfault. My hardware is pretty
old - P-166, Waverider ?? soundcard (not made anymore), Number Nine (S3
chip) graphics card, if that matters. My sound is Alsa - the current
version for the respective systems.
