+IMHO, if mplayer is ever installed by default, then smplayer should be
+installed by default (it's the most feature-rich GUI for mplayer).

+Both kaffeine and dragon are simplistic players, if we have to choose
+one of them, it'll be dragon (being the upstream default player).
+Kaffeine doesn't use phonon any more, it uses libxine directly...
