   Go figure. :)  Maybe the GATOS team has some ideas here...

    Great to hear. :)    As for the green, I will have to investigate.  It 
could be due to unfinished code.  This will take a bit of time because I 
suspect it might be secam specific, and I don't have secam hardware here.

   Thanks :)  The best thing you can do is, once we get past the beta phase, 
work with the entire KDE French translation team.  We will be using the 
translations done by the KDE project in general, since we should be a part of 
kde-multimedia in the near future.
