[xine-user] Xine hangs at splashscreen only while running KDE

[Brandon J. <bj_...@ho...>]

I have a problem that's been driving me crazy for three weeks and I
can't figure it out. Situation is this, Xine works perfectly fine if one
logs in running Gnome, but hangs mercilessly if using KDE. It's worked
perfectly fine for the past two years and then suddenly, one day, the
splash screen came up and never went away. There are no errors reported
and no indication given of what the program is trying to do, even with
--verbose=255. All I get is a string of perfectly normal messages ending
with: 

-[ xiTK version 0.10.7 [XFT] ]-[ WM type: (EWMH) KWIN {KWin} ]- 
Display is not using Xinerama. 

The next message to come up at this point (if running under Gnome) is: 

load_plugins: plugin
/usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.1/xineplug_ao_out_none.so found 

followed by a bajillion other "Plugin...found" messages. 

I have not been able to come up with any further information on the
cause of this error. As I said, it happened spontaneously. Does anyone
have any idea what xine might do differently under KDE than it does
under Gnome??  I'm not sure exactly what Xine does right before it looks
for all the plugins.  I'm really baffled by this one.
