	I'll have to try that. On my Ubuntu install, I have pretty much the 
same issue. I did see in a posting here earlier that clicking on the 
video window (to make it the active element) then hitting the spacebar 
to play & pause. THe left & right arrow keys make it jump forward & 
back; and the up/down arrows seem to adjust the volume...
