[Bug 390398] Re: gmplayer does not find the default skin and no controls are visible after installing mplayer-skins or mplayer-skin-blue

[jasmineaura]

clearplayer *IS* the default (see my comment - #3)
It's just that clearplayer skin is part of "mplayer-skins" is not installed when one installs mplayer, because it is not listed as dependency, while "mplayer-skin-blue" gets installed to provide dependancy for "mplayer-skin".

Notice "mplayer-skins" vs. "mplayer-skin", the latter being a meta
pacakge that pulled "mplayer-skin-blue"..

Notice in my comment (#2) I pasted output of `aptitude why mplayer-skin-
blue` (which it was installed, and not mplayer-skins instead):

# aptitude why mplayer-skin-blue
i mplayer Depends mplayer-skin
i A mplayer-skin-blue Provides mplayer-skin

So, "mplayer-skins" should have precedence over "mplayer-skin-blue" in
providing "mplayer-skin"

But that still doesnt fix the issue of gmplayer's control panel (and
main window) being all black with no visible controls. I haven't got
time now to test why this occurs, while I can happily use the "gnome-
mplayer" frontend/package as an alternative...
