Please support auto-detecting 'mplayer2' binary #624

Right now, when no mplayer location is specified, gnome-mplayer falls back to 
'mplayer'. When mplayer2 is the system player and there is no 'mplayer' symlink 
for it, this results in:

Error when running: Failed to execute child process "mplayer" (No such file or 
directory)

Could you please support auto-detecting mplayer2 under its regular name? I 
think g_find_program_in_path() could be used for that.

Actually last time I checked mplayer2 installedas mplayer. Did this change 
recently?

Hmm, this seems to be Gentoo-specific change. We allow having both regular 
mplayer & mplayer2 being installed in parallel.
