Comment 37 for bug 709461

I can confirm the issue still after the latest updates. It happened when I
wanted to watch a movie in mplayer. I have a .desktop file on my desktop
which launches mplayer when I drop a file on top of it from Nautilus.

Today I did that. I was able to hear the sound, but no MPlayer window,
mplayer did not appear in the laucher either..
