There is no
Slackware official package for Kaffeine. The

Darrell used.
Pretty much the same script, although I use a snippet from the slacky.eu

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. :(
