Re: [gentoo-user] Why is dbus-0.60 conflicting with totem?

And why is that line added? Cardoe is a person; a dev in fact. Presumably the totem web plugin (which would allow you to play streaming video in your web browser using the Totem backend) is only compatible with dbus-0.35, not 0.60. I don't really know more than that, as 1) I found Totem far too unstable to use generally, so uninstalled it; 2) I use mplayerplug-in to display video in my browser(s), since if I found Totem unstable for regular use, I certainly wasn't going to attempt to use the web plugin, which could be expected to be even worse than Totem itself is. I would suggest disabling the nsplugin USE flag for Totem and using a different plugin-- xine has a plugin, mplayer has a plugin, I think realplayer has one, Quicktime can be installed with Wine, and there are a couple of standalone options, like plugger. I myself wouldn't want to use such an older version of Dbus just for Totem's stupid plugin (when there are so many others that most likely work better), but that's just my opinion.
