Update on the Ogg Theora usability issue.

  See also [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?usertag=debian-edu@lists.debian.org|bugs tagged with the debian-edu usertagging]].
  
   * Usability issue: The default browser Iceweasel fail to show files with MIME types text/* (like for example diffs or source code) in the browser, and instead pop up a dialog only offering to save the file or pass it on to an external program (DebianBug:600266).  This make it hard for users to look at fairly normal text documents.  Chromium show text/* files in the browser.
-  * Usability issue: the KDE file manager fail to play Ogg Theora videos recorded by gtk-recordmydesktop because file report mime type "application/ogg" instead of "video/ogg" (DebianBug:762561).  Video players like vlc (DebianBug:762564) and gnome-mplayer (DebianBug:762565) should be updated to list video/ogg as a supported MIME type.  The dragonplayer package already support video/ogg.
+  * Usability issue: the KDE file manager fail to play Ogg Theora videos recorded by gtk-recordmydesktop because file report mime type "application/ogg" instead of "video/ogg" (DebianBug:762561).  Video players and processors like vlc (DebianBug:762564), gnome-mplayer (DebianBug:762565), mpv (DebianBug:763173), advene (DebianBug:763174) and handbreak (DebianBug:763175) should be updated to list video/ogg as a supported MIME type.  The dragonplayer and kaffeine package already support video/ogg.
   * The Kerberos TGT is valid for 10 hours as it should be. Clicking the key symbol, the krb5-auth-dialog lacks the username; the realm is OK, though (DebianBug:762906).
   * Kerberos/LDAP startup with systemd is unreliable (DebianBug:758992)
   * LDAP user copied into /etc/passwd on roaming workstation (and probably other profiles) do not have working USB plug and play.  Inserting USB memory stick is not discovered in KDE.  Petter suspect missing plugdev group membership or some missing policykit setup is the cause. [No problem in virtualbox vm with USB key (profile main-server with desktop xfce or KDE): the plugdev is discovered and usable.]
