Well it depends on how GTK was compiled on your system and what
features gmtk was compiled with.

There are three possible places configurations can be stored

dconf (primarily when built with gtk3), which you can edit with
dconf-editor and you can edit the key /apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences
and then set "disable-cover-art-fetch" to true

gconf (normally gtk2, but not always), same thing as dconf

and finally the keystore which is stored in
your user config directory which is typically $HOME/.config/gnome-mplayer

Edit the file gnome-mplayer.conf and add this line to it

disable_cover_art_fetch=true

and that should do it.

You can also start gnome-mplayer with the --disable_cover_art_fetch
command line option.

You don't mention what version of gnome-mplayer you have installed,
but I do test with --disable_cover_art_fetch and I do know that it
works with the SVN code (1.0.7)

You can also build gnome-mplayer without libmusicbrainz support and it
will not lookup anything.
