Sorry for such a quick followup, but i found that in the current ubuntu repos there is vlc-nox There is also a gvlc project ( http://www.ohloh.net/p/gvlc) that is a gtk frontend for vlc -- this was in dapper but is no longer available in our repos, but i think it is definitely something we need to give a hard look at.
