Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mplayer

After recent mplayer updates, when clicking on a video file whose name
includes space, from nautilus, gmplayer spits an error saying it could
not open file x%20x.avi (format doesnt matter).

gmplayer probably replaces spaces with "%20", and then cant find the
corresponding file.

But if i drag the same video file from nautilus to mplayer (gmplayer) play bar, 
the movie starts.
Same if i choose "open with" > mplayer (not gmplayer), the movie starts fine.

Its not a vital bug, but it can be quite annoying. :)
