Bug Description

I've got two separate machines with 14.04 (upgraded), after installing mplayer and trying to run it from the launcher it displays a model window with the title "Fatal Error" and the description "Error in skin config file on line 6: PNG read error in /usr/share/mplayer/skins/default/main". After clicking OK I get another message "Config file processing error with skin 'default'". After clicking OK the program closes.

Basically it doesn't work at all.

I'm pretty sure that neither machine has had mplayer installed since they were last wiped, but I've never altered the skins of mplayer when it has been installed.
