The first  "terminal --tab -x mplayer %f" opens a new Terminal Window with
two tabs in it. But so does any subsequent "terminal --tab -x mplayer %f"
command. Which makes that with "--tab" option, instead of opening a new
Terminal Window, opens a New Terminal Window _with_ two tabs.

I would expect a different behaviour: reuse of the newly created window.
That is, the subsequent commands would open tabs into this new window.

Or am I wrong on the intended use of this option?
