Bug Description
When, for instance, I try to open a video in Totem for which I don't have the necessary codecs installed, such as the MMS thing here:
http://
, Totem shows the "Add/Remove Applications" window, with
- no explanation of why I am being asked to add or remove applications.
- no clue that I probably want to click the little checkbox and then press OK to make the video run.
It's a big confusing window that seems totally disconnected from what I wanted to do. Most people will just think it's a big confusing error.
Note that I am incredibly happy that the functionality is there. I just think it needs to be clearer.

Also, there's both an Apply and an OK button. I can't see the use of Apply here. People will just assume that they must click Apply before OK, and worry that the change didn't happen if they forgot to click Apply, and generally be unsure of things and annoyed.
