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.
