Description of problem:
When browsing through a dir full of movies in Nautilus, I tried to open a .avi
file, but instead of xine coming up and playing it, I got a message saying there
is no viewer capable of viewing this file.

If xine in installed, it should be set-up to handle .avi .asf ect from gnome.

Note:  I could manually opent he file with xine.

Isn't this because Red Hat is shipping without codecs for the patented
formats?
