I counted.. the default skin is 165k, the cvs snapshot is about 2.4M.
it would enlarge it by 7%... (and the WindowsMediaPlayer is even
smaller.. 31k, which would make the code increase by one and a half
percent!)

and why? because I think many users have problem with it, and it would
make their life much easyer. of coure if you would not like that...
