Okay ... the disc I was played was created on a stand-alone DVD
recorder. Just tried a "real" dvd and it doesn't present the above
warnings. So, all's well :)

I've used kde for years and finally decided that with 4.x enough was
enough. Just too many changes (and bugs) for an old guy. So, figured
that since I was using Ubuntu I'd used gnome as well. I'm still not
completely at ease with the config stuff in gnome ... I'm getting
older, but not stupid :) Maybe I'll have another look at stuff like
XFCE once I get this system stable.

You know, if the error was printed ONE time it'd even be useful ...
but a zillion times? Makes me think that it's important :)
