replacement for VLC: I dont want Qt

[Paul Gupta]

1) Every little bit counts, Ubuntu IS bloated because of this kind of 
"what's a little more?" thinking. That's my opinion and it's not going 
to change until Ubuntu is snappier on my system than the new Windows 7 
build...(Yeah, that's right, I said it...)

But anyway, the real question, is it running BOTH wx AND qt now? What do 
you mean by "both libraries installed and loaded"?  Do you mean wx/qt or 
qt/gtk?

Thanks for dealing with my stupidity!
