Mmmmh: $ cd $ ls .gconf/apps/gecko-mediaplayer* ls: cannot access .gconf/apps/gecko-mediaplayer*: No such file or directory There seems to be no directory named like this... And nothing else in ~/.gconf/apps/ seems to be related to gecko-mediaplayer, to gnome-mplayer, or to mplayer. > > Thanks to the bug report I've discovered that gecko-mediaplayer still > ships the gconf schema.

Are you referring to the dconf program from the dconf-tools package? Maybe I should install that package: it may turn out to be useful in other cases, as well... Please let me know whether I correctly interpreted what you suggested.
