Ubuntu Places menu: weird behavior of “Home” place

Recently I played with several multimedia tools – cutting and editing movies, transforming them to diferent codecs etc. – and during that activity, something was broken in my Ubuntu user account: when I try to open Home folder from the Ubuntu’s “Places” menu, it causes that gnome-mplayer is executed instead of the default nautilus.
Here is what I do:
… and here is what happens:
You see ? There is gnome-mplayer scanning the given folder, which makes me believe that gnome-mplayer installed itself somewhere in my user settings instead of nautilus. Yes, it must be user-wide, not system wide – because other user accounts on the computer do not suffer this way.
