Thanks. By the way, videopreview.so crashes on the gstreamer backend: if he 
added a feature to the Xine backend, he should add to the other backends as 
well. Or at least post to kdemultimedia asking for help (which he didn't). I 
only found out about this by accident: I happened to do tail -f ~/.xsession-
errors while using Dolphin in a directory with .avi files.

Anyways, we're still not clear whether we'll need a new minor release of 
Phonon with Qt 4.6. I think so, because of the S60 backend, but we'll see.
