There is no additionally Gnome depends when installing gnome-mplayer on
Lubuntu. Which depends is problematic ?

Also, you can't compare GTK+ when LXDE is build with, and another
toolkit which is added for only 1 application.

Switching to VLC will give a reason to depends on QT, by solving the
problem of the non-free depends of mplayer :)
