[off-topic] Dragon Player dialog-less UI issue

[Ian Monroe]

So I'm abusing amarok-devel since I know a bunch of you use Dragon
Player, and/or you are Leinir or Celeste. :)

We're getting rid of the separate play dialog (the one with the
recently played files and the option to open a file or play a disc).
The straightforward part is already done (by David) and you can check
it out in trunk. The play dialog was embedded into the dragon player
window, in the spot where a video would normally be playing.

Currently when you click on the "Play Media" button which used to
popup a separate dialog now stops the playback and returns to the
original state. This obviously is no good. My drawing illustrates the
question.

Should we pause (how would they continue?) Should the video continuing
playing in a postage stamp in a corner of the play media dialog? I'm
not sure.

Seb just pointed out that another challenge is: "what to do when a
full screen movie ends".

Thanks,
ian
