Re: Fear of KDE 4

please see this:
http://kaffeine.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=news&details=22

it really was not konquerors' fault.
my suggestion for you:
kplayer , it embeds cleanly - no crashes for me since i used it, caused by kplayer.

for embedding videos into firefox, my suggestion for you is mplayerplug-in:
http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/

all in all, that nasty crash when viewing embedded videos with kaffeine (which i personally don't like (ohh, see how lame it is)) was not konquerors fault but a misuse of Xlib in means of multithreading.

happy hacking

Nice of them to have fixed it. Unfortunately I only use Kaffeine 0.4.3. After that, I hate the UI. (Old UI: http://img64.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kaffeine7gu.png ) To prevent the crashes, a small patch of Konqueror is sufficient. That's obviously not the "right" answer, fixing Kaffeine was, but this is nice for those of us using older versions.

The differences amount to
+#include <X11/Xlib.h>
and
+ XInitThreads(); // fix for kaffeine

(patch file attached)

Again, not so useful now that Kaffeine is fixed, but it allows me to continue using my preferred 0.4.3

I started to use Codeine after Kaffeine decided to bloath their UI with all kinds of useless stuff...
