I couldn't get Quicktime movies to play (I develop on Fedora 7) so went hunting on the weekend. As nate mentions VLC Media Player is the solution. I discovered that for Fedora 7 the Livna repository has VLC available via yum, so it is a really easy install and hey-presto! Quicktime just works. I understand your frustration, but it is really a Linux issue rather than a Cake one. I made the switch from WinXP to Linux a couple of months ago and am still filling in little gaps like Quicktime. VLC is an easy solution that I would highly recommend.
