we would love to see a video player package for the openthinclient os!
a package like vlc or mplayer would be great.

the tricky part with this kind of application will be to compile/relocate all 
libs and binaries to e.g. "/opt/vlc". you will need a ubuntu dapper development 
environment with quite a few additional devel-libs installed to compile the 
package.

the required steps would be:
- set up a ubuntu dapper development environment
- get the (ubuntu/debianized) source package
- install any unmet build dependencies
- work on sources (debian/rules, debian/* files etc.) to have prefix /opt/vlc 
and openthinclient specific rules/files/dirs

it's not the easiest package to start with but i might be able to provide you a 
"starter package" for vlc next week if you want and if there will be some spare 
time left ;-)

but if you are interested: lots of information about building (debian) packages 
can be found here: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/

no, we haven't tried any streaming yet.

the application package provides the icon (or the *.desktop file which 
configures the icon path). so if you want a special icon for rdesktop you have 
to modify the rdesktop package.
you could replace e.g. tcos/launcher.icon or add "Icon=/path/to/your/icon" to 
tcos/rdesktop.desktop or even make it a configuration option.

happy hacking,
martin
