I finally got this going last night. Much thanks to Ed and Rajko for your help. I tried adding the command to my .profile and it made my login hang. So for now I will just run the command by hand when needed.
kmid is basically unmaintained these days. If you want to have .mid playing functionality in KDE, would you guys consider starting to maintain it?
Never thought of myself as capable of maintaining an app. What sort of knowledge would this require? I'm a long way from being a developer.
True, it helps if you can actively develop the app. But without programming skills you can make a difference by going through the bugs and triaging - there are 35 open bugs mostly in the UNCONFIRMED state, at bugs.kde.org, and also by building the most recent kde 4 version (kmid seems to be minimally ported, now it has been move to extragear/multimedia) and looking for porting mistakes. Even some non-developers have been known to become developers by trying stuff out, learning how to revert individual commits that might cause a problem, then eventually seeing how it works and trying their own changes. Drop by #opensuse-kde or opensuse-kde@opensuse.org if you'd like some more info.
