Totem is a MediaPlayer that has a nice UI. It can do playback using either the Xine or GStreamer video libraries.
Totem is a huge improvement in the usability of Linux MediaPlayers. Jamie Zawinski 
rant about Linux video players was harsh, but many of the points are valid. Xine's user interface is a disaster. Xine should be enough to convince people "skinning" of applications are a huge MisFeature?, as are interfaces that try to look like DVD players. Totem (at the time of writing) is not ready for PrimeTime?, but it is a promising application. --SimonCrosby
