We should do what ubuntu-desktop has and recommend totem not a particular backend of it (xine or gstreamer), then they would not conflict. Even now ubuntu-desktop is fine with totem-xine That said, gstreamer may be a better choice for xubuntu as well, so we take advantage of the automatic codec installation wizard of gstreamer for newbies who cannot figure out what they need for totem-xine. And the documentation form Ubuntu would apply verbatim. Gstreamer is (at least partly) in the desktop I think, via pidgin. > > * Add/Remove... > > I added this to the agenda in some meeting before, but since I couldn't > make it then, I could not elaborate on it. > In my opinion, the location of the "Add/Remove..." application is a bit > odd.

I thought that we already did that. If not it should be easy to add in the menu file. thanks for bringing these up.
