I dont know if anyone else had this problem.

I installed mplayer with the GUI deal on my slackware machine but it only worked for root user

heres what I did to fix it

find / -name "codecs.conf" -print
copy this file to $HOME/.mplayer
(I forgot where codecs.conf originally was, so a find will do it)

cp -r /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin $HOME/.mplayer

then finally as root and in $HOME/.mplayer directory

chown -R hamster *
