Hi, Martin:

First, thanks for the reply.

When I click the middle mouse button, I get the menu (simple, I suppose) 
with the Open File item. Interestingly, it is a skinned menu (has the 
same theme as the selected skin).

Right-clicking, however, has no effect -- strange! I just assumed that 
the menu required the middle-click. I am using Gentoo 1.4, no 
"experimental" packages, except perhaps MPlayer itself (1.0pre2).

All my other GTK applications seem to work fine, although I have both 
1.2 and 2.0 installed -- don't know if that could be the reason.

I have tried erasing the .mplayer directory, actually (as well as moving 
it), and it does not seem to correct it.
