Ok, my suggestion of renaming the KDE mpeg lib was based on the assumption that other software relied on the mpeg-lib in ports, and that it was "the" mpeg lib. If that's not the case, then I withdraw the suggestion. However, it does open up another question: what do other systems link gimp1 against? If gimp1 *really* needs that specifc mpeg library, and it's the only software that does, the temptation would be to build it as part of the gimp build, and statically link it into gimp, solving the problem :-).
