Too complicated, or too geeky.
What are all those conflicts (technical I understand them)?

After inserting a Video DVD, KDE does not offer to play the DVD.
After installing the 'Codecs pack for KDE' thing:
KDE still does not start a player to play the DVD?!

Smooth integration looks different.

Compare openSuSE with usable things:
Inserting an audio CD opens the player.
Inserting a Video DVD opens the player.
In Mac OS. That matters.
