Gentoo folks are having the same problem, I think it's more like Metacity 
problem. Because, they don't update mplayer and upgrade Gnome2, then have 
this problem.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116923

I do get the Metacity crash with MPlayer too, but I am using gtk2 patch 
for MPlayer. I don't even have GTK1 install in here.

Anyway, I can try to run gdb with metacity.core sometime this afternoon.

Cheers,
Mezz
