Okay, so the mplayer rpm is suppose to include gmplayer.

ls -al /usr/bin/gmplayer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 15 13:14 /usr/bin/gmplayer -> mplayer

This is just a symbolic link back to the original!

So? Did you try running it? Mplayer can figure out what name was
used to invoke it and act differently.

On my debian system, gmplayer is also just a symlink to mplayer.
But I do have gmplayer.
