I wouldn't think so - perhaps - dunno - my FC-4 box isn't here
now...it's on loan.

I was pretty much interested in the output of

rpm -ql mplayer-gui
to see if there were skins included and where

perhaps rpm -ql mplayer-gui|grep skin

and see if anything turns up.

Smart package manager uses an array of repositories but I don't they
include livna. During FC-2, I came to the conclusion that the
repositories that make up what is now called rpmforge is a better
assortment - dag with his packaging for RHEL (lots of perl stuff) and
things that I use like clamav, axel with his video stuff etc. Smart is
icing on the cake - gives you a gui that is capable of resolving
repository issues. 

In your case though, I would expect mplayer-gui to work - just wondering
where the skins are.
