Comment 0 for bug 581376

I noticed that Gnome-media-player is no longer an option in the "open with..." menu in Nautilus, it has been there in previous versions because it was set as the default on my system.

Further investigation led me to discover the menu item in the panel under Applications | Sound & Video didn't do anything. I suspect these two things are related.

Things I've discovered:
If I open Alacarte, trying to open the properties for the GMP menu item doesn't open the properties dialogue. It does, however, create a file in ~/.local/share/applications called gnome-media-player.desktop.undo-# where # is a number every time the properties button is pressed. These are removed when alacarte is closed. The menu item also refuses to be deleted.

Running alacarte from the terminal produces this output when I click on properties:

(gnome-desktop-item-edit:15576): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed
**
ERROR:panel-ditem-editor.c:757:panel_ditem_editor_setup_ui: code should not be reached

And this when I press delete:

Things I've tried to do:

Purge/reinstall GMP.
Deleted any GMP related entries from ~/.config/menus/applications.menu.
Deleted ~/.config/menus/applications.menu.
Deleted ~/.local/share/applications/gnome-media-player.desktop.

None of the above have fixed the problem.
