or a conflict. lets make mplayer unusable.

1) uninstall mplayer skins using rpm -e mplayer-skins[Version]
2) do 'updatedb'
3) locate mplayer
4) find the directory within mplayer, that still has some Skin-Files in.
Delete this directory
5) re-install mplayer-skins via yum.

...seems that lots of fiddling corrupted mplayer...
