SMplayer hangs when launched from emelfm2

Hi.

I just started using openbox and needed to find applications that have the same functionality and useability as the equivalent KDE3 apps. As filemanager, I settled on emelfm2. For a video player I needed a player that can zoom video's while I'm watching them, which only Kaffeine could do. Now I've found that SMPlayer also has this functionality, but when I launch SMPlayer from emelfm2, it hangs when I try to close it, to launch the preference window or anything else. Launching from xterm with `smplayer /home/user/video.avi` works fine. Using Thunar and PCManFM to open video's in SMPlayer also works fine, but when launching them using Emelfm2, SMPlayer keeps hanging every time.

I added smplayer in the filetypes-tab from emelfm2 configuration menu, under "video files". When I open a file from Emelfm2 with smplayer, Emelfm reports the command as `smplayer "/home/user/video.avi"` (with quotes), but when I use that command with quotes in xterm, it works just fine.
