There is no Slackware official package for Kaffeine.
The
build script
in
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/multimedia/kaffeine/
has no
non-trival patch, but I don't know if it is the script
Darrell used.
Pretty much the same script, although I use a snippet from the slacky.eu script. Yet as
you said, there are no known non-trivial patches that could cause this behavior. The cause
has to be something in the TDE sources, in modified TDE header files, or in the video
detection scheme embedded somewhere in TDE Kaffeine.
The OSD bug does not cause a crash or anything serious, but the flourescent green is hard
on my eyes. Very geeky looking too. :(
