Hi there Daniel:

Will this work for all users?  Can users select to not use aRts?  We will
have to test this configuration because small changes in the way that the
ioctls are implemented can affect a/v synchronization, etc.

Thanks for the information though... I guess if I install it in the
.desktop file it won't affect KDE 1.x users, right?  Do you happen to know
if the .desktop file is the same format as the gnome one?  Will they be
unified at some point?
