What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have open the preferences menü and set wrong parameters
2. I have no chance to get again via ui to the preferences dialog
3. I can not show videos anymore. There is the shit preferences file, I waste 
hours to find it via google without success.
I have tried to deinstall under ubuntu with --purge flag and install it again 
without succesful. 

Why I can not come in the preferences menü in the UI again if I have something 
wrong setting.

Not really a bug, but a question for the mailing list. Most likely you will 
need to use gconf-editor or dconf, it depends on how Ubuntu built your packages.

If gconf2 is used, I recommend using the gconf-editor to reset the values to 
the default in /apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences.

With dconf you can use the command line 
dconf reset /apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences/

or dconf-editor to set the preferences.

I'm curious as to what option you set that would prevent gnome-mplayer from 
loading.

Do you have an error message I could see? Run gnome-mplayer -v from the 
terminal and it should report something.

ah, i have tried under the new ubuntu version to call the preferences dialog 
direct about player. This would not work anymore if you have bad settings set. 
But there was a second option to do it. It was hidden in a bar in the panel 
which occurs only if you go with them mouse about it. So I could call the 
preference dialog again and solve the problem. But it would be good if it could 
always about the player too.

I'm guessing you are talking about the menu bar being moved to the top like a 
Mac and the menu bar disappearing? That is an Ubuntu only feature and I do not 
test with that feature, because I don't believe it works that well.
