Why it matters is that this thread actually started with someone talking
about a yum repo that replaces KDE on Fedora, and discussion was about
what was missing in Fedora's KDE that this KDE had.

Requests were made be Fedora developers to list the missing features to
see if they could be added to Fedora (or whether they were non-free).
Someone pointed out that xine-lib (non-free) was missing and I commented
that this may not be an issue for newer versions of KDE (in Fedora)
because it looks like KDE will be moving to gstreamer.
