Hm - well, _I_ never do that, and I rather doubt that yum did, either,
but I suppose that would depend on what's in libdvdcss. I find it
hard to believe that it wasn't something else more subtle with k3b,
but, again, who knows?

1) I did ask on the rpmforge list. Waiting to hear back from there, too.
2) I am just now beginning to really appreciate virtualization.
Still, past experience told me this would not be a problem. I guess
that would best be described as naive....
