Right, then why isn't VLC listed as a possible application to launch
upon entry of a DVD player?

The only options I have in Nautilus are:
1) Open Movie Player
2) Open Folder
3) Do Nothing
4) Ask what to do. Which gives a list of the 3 previous ones.

So, how do I define VLC (or any other application for that matter) as my
preferred application to open upon inserting a DVD?

Still, I cannot select another player than Totem the way the system is
set up.

I'm starting to wonder why gconf-editor clearly has been redered
useless. Are you telling me that Gnome is supposed to restrain the user
to the default selection made by the devs? Excuse me for saying so, but
that would be worse than the products I abandoned because I didn't like
them.

So at this point I still have no way to set VLC as my default player for
launching when I enter a DVD.

If someone can enlighten me what it is I oversaw, please let me know,
but replying with facts that are incorrect doesn't solve the problem I
inducated.

There is a bug to solve here! In the forums people are already talking
about it, why not fix it? However you guys do it is not of my concern,
but I do want the same functionality, to say the least, that I had in
Gutsy. Now I'm looking at a downgraded system in certain regards.

Please consider the fact that the more you limit the user the smaller your 
audience will be. The way things are now one cannot possibly change certain 
parts of the configuration at all anymore. This is a bad thing for both Ubuntu 
and the Linux community.
One can add functionality, improve it, but not take it out. That is a guarantee 
for getting unhappy users. And that is bad news for the community, but also for 
you guys.
