I don't think mplayer's gui is meant to work with gtk2. IIRC, someone
went and removed lots of broken/outdated/nonsensical options from the
configure script, to force the Gentoo package maintainers to clean up
that mess. The Gentoo package was enabling lots of options that simply
did not work and that would produce a broken/slow mplayer...so it's
probably best for you to just get mplayer source and compile yourself
rather than using emerge.
