Does Slackware have distribution specific patches like Debian and others
do?  If so someone might have patched Kaffeine to resolve this problem on
Slackware.

You are correct about our Kaffeine being the last release (0.8.8) with TQt
porting.  The only thing I can think of is that possibly Kaffeine is
picking up something odd in your TDE color scheme; if this is not the case
then this is a bug and will need to be fixed.

Incidentally I have a physical TV here that displays similar
characteristics to your other OSD size bug.  It seems that some people
think it's a good idea to resize the OSD based on the incoming datastream;
I am NOT one of them. ;-)  The OSD is supposed to be a fixed-size status
bar, no different than the physical bank of lights and channel indicators
on old TV/VCR sets (except less convenient as it has to disappear).
