Wow....

Totem *rocks*!  This is just what I've been looking for, and it's
going straight into the Fedora Multimedia Installation HOWTO I'm
working up.

I must say, despite my frustration with OpenOffice and the nonexistent
RPM submission process, it is wicked cool to be able to ^Z out of my
mailer, type 'yum totem', and try it out less than 30 seconds later.
