That is strange. Why would there be a difference?

Unfortunately, the Win32 and X11/GTK GUIs differ, but guiInfo.Filename and
global variable filename handling is the same. While guiInfo.Filename is
allocated, filename isn't.

I think already the old code is pointless at all, because guiInfo.Filename
must be set and "passed" to MPlayer using global variable filename.

Here is a revised version of your patch. Please test with and without idle
mode and with and without playlists (both explicit ones by loading through
the GUI playlist button and implicit ones by passing on the command line
which should cause the GUI to run immediately - even mixing files and
-playlist options ought to work).
