don't know about alternatives, but gnome-mplayer with -gnome use flag (and the same holds for gecko-mplayer) is just a "simple" gtk app, just like firefox itself, nothig gnome specific about it and theoretically it can look better in firefox than qt apps, because they both use the same engine/theme ;) with -gnome it also doesn't bring in any gnome dependencies... its just that it is named gnome-... (well, because when you enable it, it can becamu a "full" gnome app..., though I really don't know what gnome features it uses ;) yoyo
