Here is a section of the syslog for the shutdown I just reproduced:
Feb 27 11:57:19 d_baron kdm[912]: Server for display :0 terminated

I do not have mplayer. I am, obviously, using kdm as a display/X-handler.
There are two other entries here of note:
atkbd.c unknown key -- No keys were pressed to run netbeans nor were any
pressed to restart until I typed my password to login. Note that this thing
traps a lot of stuff. When I succumb to temptation and run uhic-hcd, a tap on
the power switch will enable me to shut down. This is also flagged by
atkbd.c. The shutdown is not a correct shutdown.
ypbind[619] broadcast: RPC: Timed out. I have one of these every 74 seconds.
This was flagged on google (this time I checked) but no solutions. What is
it. This is apparently harmless but might as well fix it :-) I think there is
a bootup message relating to this as well.
