Comment # 1 on bug 977084 from Todd R

I take it from your description you are referring to the version in
KDE:Applications.  The KDE team is maintaining their own version of libmlt
distinct from the version in multimedia:libs that I am the bug owner for.  

They would probably need to link to the version in openSUSE:Factory or
multimedia:libs.  I do not have the permissions necessary to make the change
myself, so I have reassigned the bug to them.
