xubuntu-devel Digest, Vol 187, Issue 8

I've never had any problems with Parole. That doesn't mean it's bugfree
though. But including VLC, wouldn't that bring a lot of Qt-
dependencies? And Parole is a native XFCE-app, which VLC isn't.
Besides, isn't the question whether to include a more dedicated
musicplayer as a companion to Parole?
Regards
