The bug report got some updates, it's not Dolphin's or KDE's fault, but mplayer2's, happens whenever it is started from a file manager. Something with terminal keyboard controls enabled by the file manager, but with stdin not being connected to anything readable. It's fixed upstream: http://devel.mplayer2.org/ticket/146 Meanwhile, option -noconsolecontrols also helps. Wonko
