Whatever the language is, the perfect GUI should be completely separated
from the rendering engine. As MPlayer isn't a library, the slave mode is
the less worse way to do it.

The current GUI is useless except being bloat in MPlayer sources :-)
The best thing to do would be to completely erradicate it imho :p

PS: sorry for the flame I just had lighten up, but it's the end of work
day, have nothing more to do :-)
