[Bug 386507] [NEW] gmplayer fails to start because of skin trouble

[José Alburquerque]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mplayer

Running gmplayer from the command line (without any media file) fails
for me with the following:

[06:29][jose at sweety: ~]$ gmplayer
Warning unknown option vo_dxr3_device at line 6
MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.4.0 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory
Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.
[skin] file ( /usr/share/mplayer/skins/default/skin ) not found.
Skin not found (default).
[06:29][jose at sweety: ~]$

The blue skin package is installed. The mplayer-skins package is not.

If I install the mplayer-skins package it starts but there should be an
mplayer-skins dependency if gmplayer requires the default skin to run.
