Are you sure that the settings are not being stored in dconf?
gnome-mplayer.conf is only used when gconf is not found or disabled. With gtk
2.26 or higher gsettings is used for storing settings and that is typically
stored in dconf.
As of this moment I cannot duplicate your issue. Can you please post the output
of gnome-mplayer -v

Here is my output:

Well there is your problem.... looks like your Gsettings isn't configured to
use any type of permanent storage. You can force it to use gconf with
./configure --enable-gconf
If you need me to make a option to force the keystore I can do that, but I was
hoping to depreciate that storage method.

How would I change gsettings to use permenent storage? I am using awesomewm btw.
Also why use dconf/gconf instead of a simple config file?

gsettings is built into gtk/glib so it is probably the way you built it.
Why use dconf/gconf, well because that is the recommended way of storing
settings in GTK.
AwesomeWM has nothing to do with this problem.

Well I realized the problem is that I did not have dconf installed. Now my
settings are saved, so thanks for the help.

Sorry, I looked for this problem before post issue 525 but I did not find. I
should have looked better.
Well, I installed the package "dconf-gsettings-backend" and now the preferences
are being saved.
I use Debian, but it should work too with ubuntu.
Thanks

is not related to gnome-mplayer, an alternative to using dconf would be
to defined
GSETTINGS_BACKEND=gconf
in your environment
