According to the standard these are not the same thing:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html

%F  A list of files. Use for apps that can open several local files at
    once. Each file is passed as a separate argument to the executable
    program.

%U  A list of URLs. Each URL is passed as a separate argument to the
    executable program. Local files may either be passed as file: URLs
    or as file path.

Does gmplayer still open URLs after you make the change?
