I'm not sure about the mouse. Maybe that's a region specfic thing? I have a five button (Microsoft Explorer) mouse, and Windows always defaults to that scroll type thing. Older versions of galeon (I think before they did that massive GTK2 upgrade) let you change what various buttons did anyway. I think you can still access those settings with gconf-editor anyway (I know, it's a hack, but it's there).

For Media, take a look at totem. It's GTK2 based, has a very simple playlist, uses xine for a backend, and supports samba directly through the gnome-vfs layer.

(I agree, xine's default player is crap, but I suspect that was meant more as a demo, than an actual final product).
