humm - i'm just wondering what to do about this from the xine side. if
totem is going to switch to another library anyway, i guess gnome-xine
will need to be developed and supported further (since a lot of people
certainly want to have xine on their gnome-desktop).

also i'd like to hear from you if there's anything wrong with libxine or
if you have any wishes/feature requests - libxine's api is currently
being redesigned so this is the time to consider these. there are also
some efforts going on to push libxine into the direction of video
processing/editing and what's exiting about this one is that it looks
like this isn't going too take too much effort (even though libxine was
never designed for that).

i have been using gnome for a long time and i am still quite a fan of the
project - but i'm not really a desktop "user" as i use desktops mainly
for playing around while for my real work all i need is a window manager,
a few xterms and emacs ;>. at the moment i'm using kde3.1 because it
looks so stylish - but as soon as gnome2 is completely available in
debian i guess i'll give it a try.

cheers,
