+Using the Kaffeine DVB frontend
+-------------------------------
+
+Kaffeine has a very nice DVB (digital TV) frontend. However,
+since Qt/KDE 4, Kaffeine no longer has a built-in configuration GUI.
+The defaults are not really optimal. A suggested quick solution is:
+ * close Kaffeine
+ * build/install xine-ui
+ * do your configuration with that
+ * make Kaffeine use it too:
+ $ ln -sf ~/.xine/config ~/.kde4/share/apps/kaffeine/xine-config
+A similar trick applies to previewing videos in Gwenview via phonon:
+ $ ln -sf ~/.xine/config ~/.config/kde.org/Phonon-Xine.xine.conf
+
Have fun.
