The thing is that RealPlayer, Adobe, flash, and etc. or all linux apps. I 
think the wrapper is just as important as the x-wrapper is to run as 
non-root. 

When I installed it, and followed the instructions, I could use acrobat, and 
some of the flash/shockwave stuff in both konqueror and mozilla. Realplay 
never showed up in the plugin list for mozilla but I can go to a site that 
has *.ram files and click them and hear the music.

 Konqueror is really anal when it comes to getting rid of kmplayer as the 
defautl. I can also visit the same site as mozilla and play the *.ram files.

The thing is that I moved rpnp.so into so many places that I don't know what 
made mozilla work. I got the idea from the links in the about plugin link on 
mozilla > help. It was basically any place that locate claimed to be a 
mozilla plugin directory. It was finally - well, I give up, let see what it 
does and it worked. I don't have a clue what fixed it because I was looking 
for it in the plugin list and it never showed up.
