Totem is great. One way it scores over straight Xine is that it
maintains the Gtk2 look of the default Gnome desktop which, whilst not
as pretty as a Xine or Mplayer skin, looks a whole lot more
"professional" - something that Red Hat achieved with Red Hat 8 and 9
and something I wouldn't want to see lost from Fedora. It's amazing
what a difference a consistent look and feel can make to potential
desktop users out there in business-land.
