I'm using Gnome here.  It (KFI) wouldn't play for me.  (Flash media 
worked fine tho from other sites)  *BUT*, if I stopped firefox and 
restarted it, KFI worked right away for me.  Yes, I have 
gecko-mediaplayer installed as well.  Something about the way it works 
prevents it from starting after a "few" times.  I wish I could be more 
specific.  Every time it fails for me, restarting firefox seems to clear 
it up for a while.

In case it matters, I'm running on x86_64....  firefox 3.0b5 and 
gecko-mediaplayer are both x86_64.  I have some .i386 packages installed 
for things like Flash to work with the wrappers....
