Until recently, there was a file /usr/bin/gmplayer that was just a link to
/usr/bin/mplayer. That's what I was referring to. If the calling command
was "gmplayer", it brought up a skin from /usr/share/mplayer/skins.

I do see that I have gnome-mplayer, and it does work as a front end. But I
don't believe that gmplayer called gnome-mplayer. Gnome-mplayer doesn't seem
to care that /usr/share/mplayer/skins no longer exists.

I have quite a few of their packages, including mplayer. Thanks.
