If you have xine-dvdnav installed from the Mandrake CDs you could try "xine -pq -s DVD dvdnav://" from the command line. (The -pq is optional.) Since xine is a multimedia player it needs some kind of clue about the medium you are accessing. That is where MRLs come in - Media Resource Locator(?). The gui does have a comprehensive setup panel but as far as I can see does not provide an option for specifying DVD play by default - dvb and vcd must be built in defaults. I always attach the above command to a GNOME panel icon. Maybe you can do the same in KDE or modify a menu entry. You probably don't need to uninstall anything either.
