So, let's break the circle.

Using incantation won't change things. I prefer action.

It is one part of the problem but even if we had the source, it wouldn't
ensure the problem is fixed.

And I'm not in a mood to blame Nokia for not releasing Media Player
source code. It is part of their policy to not release code from UI
based application, I respect that, even if I regret it.

So, now, the important thing is either to find if the gconf
configuration for Media Player is wrong and can be fixed or if the
problem is in Media Player itself (help from some Nokia dudes welcome
here, hint hint :)

I think you can drop this kind of reply. And I'm serious. This bring
nowhere.

I don't think it is a problem of the "community" or "infrastructure" but
more of a lack of common practices, which are already in place in
various other distributions or project, from new people trying to work
on Maemo-based software.
