Bug#754521: gnome-mplayer: Files with # in the name are not played

[Eduardo Klosowski]

I escape the #, but it did not work again.

$ gnome-mplayer \#file.mkv
$ gnome-mplayer "#file.mkv"

Changing the gnome-mplayer to mplayer the video plays correctly. The
biggest problem is to open on Thunar (Xfce file manager), but not works
in the shell too.

Was a recent update, I played these videos awhile ago.

Any file that contains # is not opening. A simple test I did in Thunar
was rename a file that was playing, adding # in name and by double click
did stop playing the file. Another file with # in the name, removing the
# and played correctly by double click.
