Hmm.  Well it sort of works.  I had to struggle to get it past AppArmor, 
but in the end it opened Kaffeine properly, but the video's 
unwatchable.  Much the same results as I got with MPlayer.  It sort of 
works with MPlayer as well: but still not nearly good enough.  Doesn't 
work at all with xine.

Konq was preconfigured to work with KMPlayer, but the result was 
unwatchable.  I changed it to kaffeine by adding kaffeine as the default 
player by doing:

Settings --> Configure Konqueror... --> File Associations --> uri

I then added Kaffeine to the list for mms, rtspt and rtspu (and made it 
the default by putting it at the top of the list, above kmplayer).  Just 
highlight the uri type, click Add and follow the instructions.

Kaffeine works beautifully, as it does in FF.

HTH
