Dunno if this is your case, but you may be confused by the way mplayer
GUI is launched. Normally, "mplayer" runs a GUI-less version of
mplayer, and as you have been using gnome/menu/icons before, you may
not be aware of this, my guess. GTK version of mplayer is launched via
"gmplayer" (that's pretty much the one that your icons were using).
Well, and since the recent xorg upgrade, that one stopped working, at
least for me:

$ gmplayer
MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) 8450 Triple-Core Processor (Family: 16, Model: 2,
Stepping: 3)
[...]
[ws] Error in display.
[ws]  Error code: 10 ( BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) )
[ws]  Request code: 146
[ws]  Minor code: 1
[ws]  Modules: (NULL)

Check in your terminal if that's not the case for you too, that would
explain 'the icons not working'. Still, the GUI-less version runs
fine.
