smplayer and kmplayer are front ends for mplayer. If they do not work there's probably something amiss with Qt4 and KDE. > Following your steps (a few words are in my current locale): > > # /etc/init.d/dbus status > * status: started OK this is good. > # echo $(dbus-launch) > DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-mU2yodqLmm,guid=cf51aed93a > 7b9b4a16af650c00000198 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=17859 I've asked for this: $ echo $(dbus-launch) ^ as a plain user. > # mplayer -msglevel all=6 video.avi > MPlayer SVN-r32624-4.5.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team > CPU vendor name: GenuineIntel max cpuid level: 10 > CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz (Family: 6, [snip ...] This looks OK, but can you please run it as a plain user? > The directory /home/user/.mplayer/ contains two files: > > # l /home/user/.mplayer/ > total 34K > drwxr-x--- 2 user users 96 Out 17 2009 ./ > drwxrwx--- 194 user users 27K Jul 3 12:07 ../ > -rw-r----- 1 user users 44 Out 7 2009 config > -rw-r----- 1 user users 345 Jan 20 02:00 registry > > the config file is empty and the registry looks like an excerpt of a > few Windoze registry entries.

Are you running an updated Gentoo system? Did you run 'revdep-rebuild -v -- --ask' to see if there is any KDE/Qt packages that need rebuilding? -- Regards, Mick
