All of a sudden (no, I really don't know what I might have done to cause it), gmplayer is taking a really long time to start. The console-based mplayer doesn't have the same problem, and enabling verbose output doesn't really provide a clue. It was just before the notices about no joystick or LIRC found, so I disabled those in ~/.mplayer/config since I don't have either anyway, but that didn't help.
~/.mplayer/config:
Code:
nojoystick=1
nolirc=1

Since I fairly regularly play media files one by one, this delay is seriously annoying. Any suggestions for what to try would be greatly appreciated.
