Qt in itself has nothing to do with Xine. KDE (or the Kubuntu team) has chosen 
Xine has its default Phonon backend, but Qt apps are not KDE apps. And Phonon 
is a crossplatform Qt module, not a KDE specific thing. I think this a common 
misconception rooted in the past. Qt apps today integrate really well on GNOME. 
And I, as an app developer, would like to target GNOME as much, if not even 
more, than KDE. Frankly, the Ubuntu user base is order of magnitude greater 
than Kubuntu's. So we have to take this in account.

Xine playback has always been a bit problematic, with video seeking not
working at all and issues like the "X Error: BadMatch" like in the
comment above. Currently the best experience is with GStreamer, so I'll
keep recommending it to users.

I'm no packaging expert. So I won't propose to depend directly on
phonon-backend-gstreamer and the required gstreamer plugins. I believe
there's something broken in "phonon" depending on the xine backend in a
package repository that is mainly used by a GNOME-based distribution.
