I don't know how to set it up as the default multimedia package, but you can certainly set it up as the default player for each individual file type. E.g. for making VLC the default OGG player, 1. Open Konqueror. 2. Navigate to a directory containing an ogg file. 3. Right-click on the ogg file, select "Properties" from the context menu. 4. Click on the spanner button on the right-hand side. 5. In the Application Preference Order, Add VLC if it isn't already there. 6. Select VLC and keep pressing the Move Up button until it's the first application. 7. Click OK. The next time you click on an OGG file in Konqueror (and presumably Dolphin) it will open up with VLC. You can do similar stuff for other media types that you have. Sorry, I don't use Gnome so you'll have to find someone else to fix your problem if you're a Gnome user.
