  Thanks for some testing! Although I'm, not so sure about everything

  I very recently changed the default from kde3 to kde4, as most 
distributions this release is going into ship kde4 now. Sounds like that 
change might be a bit premature... I don't use kde, so I could use a 
little feedback on which version people are currently using.

  --enable-gui=gtk,kde3

  Unfortunately SDL is used with ffmpeg for media handling.

  I've been fixing some warning, fixing the rest would be nice. Some of 
those may be from the Gstreamer headers.
