Compile the panel with --enable-debug=full/--enable-debug=yes, make sure
the kernel generates core dumps (set the coresize limit to unlimited),
start the panel with gdb attached (e.g. gdb xfce4-panel), type run,
start mplayer, await the crash, type backtrace and sent the output
to the list.

That says, xfdesktop crashes as well. Please debug it the same way.
