Ekhhhm... That would be me. ;) And why shouldn't I? Please do tell me.
I mean, some people are literally afraid of terminal screens and command
lines, so if they're happy with gmplayer, let them.

Oh, did I mention that gmplayer in the RPMs is actually renamed mplayer
compiled with GUI enabled, not a symlink?

Anyway, this package layout has worked for a long time, so if you think
it should be changed, you'd better have a good reason. :)
