FreeBSD-6.2
Xfce-4.4.0 (Xfce 4.4)

Scenario:

Right Click Desktop
Click <Multimedia>
Click <MPlayer>

At that point an error message is displayed:

	[ws] Shared Memory Extension Error

I can run mplayer fine if I start it from a terminal but not from the
desktop. I have tried Googling for a solution; however, I have not been
able to ascertain a viable one.

I have had my television aerials removed.  It's the moral equivalent
of a prostate operation.
