If it's outside Ubuntu official repositories, we can't do more than
mention the Medibuntu repo when people have problems with codecs, but we
can't include something like a script or an automated process to get
them.

Feel free to open a discussion on the mailing list, I'll support the
switch to gnome-mplayer ;)

Maybe in the next release, like other piece of artwork.

Do you know which locale are missing ?

It is intentional, the openbox menu provide IMO more interesting
features than the pcmanfm one. It will be revert if users are not happy
with it.

It's not outdated, it's the last version released some days ago. Feel
free also to open a discussion on the mailing list for another email
client.

Names ?

Only when pcmanfm2 will be completed.

Thanks, I'll merge it to the current config file.

Good idea.

tile seems very old, not sure it still working.
pystyle need to be packaged, and only after this we can considering it
for inclusion.
