kaffeine for kde4: what the?

[Dexter Filmore]

So after 7 years of kde3 I set up a kubuntu 9.10 box for testing which
replaced my computer I use for watching videos.

This was my first real attempt on kde4 after 3 tries in VMs with kde4.0, 4.1
and 4.2 and after I decided that 4.3 still royally sucked I moved to gnome.

Wanted to keep Kaffeine as my movie player, still.

Now:
-F5 to F9 don't switch aspect ratio
-"I" doesn't toggle interlacing
-I can't click somewhere into the position bar and the slider jumps there. I
have to grab and drag it
-dropping a file into the player view doesn't play it at once but queues it.
It's been like this for years, why did you change it? We all got used to it.
-mouse wheel on position bar doesn't do a thing.
-biggest problem so far: I can't find any options where to configure the xine
engine. I guess I'll have to do that from KDE kontrols now that we got this
phonon thing going, but how would I call that from gnome?

regarding xine configuration: this is configurable through 'systemsettings' or 'kcmshell4 kcm_phonon'

please note that phonon may use other backend instead of xine.

well, the phonon xine configuration is so very damn bad..... you cannot configure almost nothing.... if you look at xine configuration in old kaffeine 0.8 the configuration dialog has so many options.... i've actually installed old kaffeine to be able to configure xine settings.... and this is the same for gstreamer. i still think that phonon configuration dialog is still an infant!!!
