I totally agree. I'll send a bottle of coke (for enjoyment offcourse :) )  
to the person who dares to completely remove the GUI code from MPlayer. 
Then we could either adopt an existing front-end as the official gui, or 
write a new one ourself from scratch or based on the current GTK+ code. If 
there's stuff that can be done with the current gui and is impossible 
through slave mode, it should be made possible :)  I would vote for a GUI 
front-end from scratch with a toolkit that's as multiplatform as possible. 
Maybe wxWindows. That would give us a unified GUI for Linux, Windows, Mac 
OS, *BSD, Solaris, Irix, etc... with the same codebase.

Hmm, maybe we should reverse the order. First write a decent official GUI 
front-end that can compete with the current intertwined GUI code and then 
ditch the gtk+ code :-)
