On an off-topic, but related note - It bothers me having a Gnome app as the default video player in a KDE-centric distro. I realize it is the best option in that it does DVD menus, can play just about anything, has a working browser plugin, etc. Maybe I'm still worried about loading gnome libraries on top of the KDE ones from a time when I didn't have them memory to handle that. VLC is nice, but its browser plugin doesn't work. Gnome-mplayer (gtk dependanceies, but not Gnome, despite the name) doesn't handle DVD menus. Kaffeine is my preferred player for KDE, but doesn't have a browser plugin (there is one available in some distros, but it just opens Kaffeine externally, not embedded). I can definitely see why Totem was chosen, but is there any KDE or Qt based solution on the horizon that can cover all these bases?
