Do you using "Ater" or "Terminator3" skin? I had these same problems 
with them which started a week ago. Now I use "slim" skin but I've 
tested other skins and this is list of skins that works for sure (tested):
Abyss
Blue
Blue-small
brushedGnome
neutron
OSX-Brushed
OSX-Mod
productive
proton
slim

Maybe some other skins don't work anymore?
List of sikns that crashes nevest SVN MPlayer:
Ater
Terminator3


Please add your skin.

If you want to change the skin for your GMPlayer then edit the file 
"~/.mplayer/gui.conf" and especially line 'gui skin = "skin name"' - 
note, that you must have installed new skin already before edition.
If MPlayer is compiled without "--prefix" option then skins are in 
"/usr/local/share/mplayer/skins" directory, and if with "--prefix=/usr" 
then skins are in "/usr/share/mplayer/skins".
