strange, i cant stand the music players and video players in kde. totem is the only usable video play IMHO. i just dont know what i would without 1 2 and 0 sizing the video and all the shortcut keys ... i might have to actually use the MOUSE! hah
anyway, you can run kde apps inside gnome if you want, i run k3b and k9copy all the time fromg nome, it looks like kde, but the window border is still your metacity theme.
