[Totem | http://www.hadess.net/totem.php3] is a MediaPlayer which can use either the [Xine] or [GStreamer] video libraries as a backend. [Totem]'s major strength over its competitors is its sane [GUI]. Contrast [Xine], whose interface is such a disaster it should convince people that "skinning" is a huge MisFeature. Tring to imitate the operation of analog devices doesn't help usability either. Jamie Zawinski's [rant | http://www.jwz.org/doc/linuxvideo.html] about Linux video player usability is harsh, but valid. [Totem] will become the [GNOME] MediaPlayer of choice come 2.6, when [GStreamer] hits 1.0.
