This is my first attempt at an MPlayer patch, so forgive me if I messed up.
The attached patch to Makefile will install the also attached
mplayer.desktop when building with a GUI. It also installs logo.xpm
into the global pixmaps directory so that the .desktop can find it
(again, only when building with a GUI -- maybe this would want to be
done anyway?). I put mplayer.desktop in the source subdirectory 'etc'.
.desktop files allow programs to show up correctly in GNOME/KDE/etc.
menus and give the desktop environment an idea of how to interact with
the program (for more info on the spec, see
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec.html).
The reason it only installs when building a GUI (and why the .desktop
file refers to gmplayer) is that often mplayer will be selected by the
user without a filename (like it would be when selected from an
application menu), and without the GUI version, mplayer would just exit.
If you accept this patch, note that translating the comments in the
.desktop file is easy -- just add a line like "Comment[hu]=Hungarian
translation of comment" in UTF-8.
