Thanks for the tip, I know I knew that at one point and spaced it here.
Looking, I found them (codecs) in /usr/lib/win32, and added a win32 
directory to /usr/local/lib/ and copied the codecs to there also for 
good measure, but still no dice with xine (as I also now recall once 
knowing that kaffeine uses the xine engine, thanks for that one, too). 
Not sure what's going on there.

I guess since mplayer will play most things, I shouldn't worry about it, 
and play dvds on a different system that hasn't been branded and broken 
for the nonce.

I think I sort of expected suse to go all to shit once novell glommed on 
to it in a last desperate effort to stay alive. But by then I had been 
using it long enough to be more or less comfortable with it and want to 
keep on using it. Actually, thinking about it, 8.2 (where I started with 
suse) was a kind of crazy wrestling match as well. Perhaps that's why I 
like it - it's always broken just enough to keep things interesting.

I did get google earth going here (suse 10.1) recently, which is pretty 
sweet, particularly since GoogleEarthLinux.bin appeared BEFORE the mac 
client.

Thanks,
S.
