Sorry for such a quick followup, but i found that in the current ubuntu
repos there is vlc-nox  There is also a gvlc project (
http://www.ohloh.net/p/gvlc)  that is a gtk frontend for vlc -- this was in
dapper but is no longer available in our repos, but i think it is definitely
something we need to give a hard look at.
