Usually Ubuntu provided mplayer versions are compiled without the 
--enable-gui flag which means that mplayer won't have a dependency on 
GTK or GTK2.0. I'm on 10.10 and I don't get that error message when 
executing that command from your script in a terminal. Try putting 
-nogui as your first commandline argument or see if your source provides 
a non-gui enabled version.
