How many desktops do you have  (the default on installation is 4 in KDE4
and (?)2 in KDE3 (btw, which oS version are you using, 11.0 or what) and
are you directing the output of kaffeine to the correct desktop, ie the
one which you are actually using to view the DVD? In KDE4 you can start
kaffeine in Desktop, say, 1 but then redirect it to output to Desktop 4.
When kaffeine is playing the DVD its icon should appear in the taskbar;
right-click on this icon and look at To Desktop> and see to which
Desktop the output is being sent.

Ciao.
