On my current (LFS-7.3) build I have one outstanding issue before I
trash it and rebuild to check that my fixes during the build have
worked: xine (i.e. xine-ui) only opens a file if I pass it on the
command line.

 I suspect I'm the one who labelled xine-ui as working with 7.2 and
7.3.  In mitigation, I normally test it while using the command line
to check if ffmpeg is working.  Expel me if you wish ;-)  Really, I
only keep it around because it sounds better on some classical music
videos - usually I use parole [ or vlc if I'm desperate ].

 So far, I've gone back to my oldest install on one of my desktops
(August last year, with 0.99.7) and it has the same problem.  On 7.3
I also get an error message 'xine: There is no MRL'.  Google has
various 'antique' hits for that, but I couldn't see anything useful
and the message might be a red herring because everything
reasonable that I've passed on the commandline opens ok.  For me,
non-reasonable means x264, xine always has problems with those.

 I've found a blog post from late last year which suggests that
Slackware went back to an older version (presumably 0.99.6) because
of this sort of problem - and the poster didn't understand how other
distros (specifically Arch, but fedora also seem to be using it)
don't see the problem.  So - is anyone else is using xine ?  If so,
is it able to open a file when you right click in the xine window ?
