Switching to Xine did indeed bringup an embedded kmplayer that actually played 
a movie.  Of course, it was sans sound for some reason. *sigh*  Sometimes it 
works right in KMPlayer, sometimes it doesn't. :-(

Well that wasn't what I was referring to actually (although that is a good 
tip), I was just referring to the fact that KMPlayer brings up a huge black 
box, whereas Kaboodle brings up a huge box with the normal background color 
instead, which blends in much better.

Of this I have no doubt, I just don't think it can happen yet is all. ;-)
