i386, UP machine, plain -current without any linux patches:
 - 2.4.2: acroread, realplay and skype (tested the skype echo service) work,
          I didn't tested linux-firefox
          realplay had a little problem displaying the video, it runs, but
          a large part of the picture isn't updated on the first run,
          after running it the second time, it played just fine
 - 2.6.16: with a populated ~/.acrobat/:
   + starting "acroread" works
     - trying to edit the preferences (edit->preferences) results in "exit 1"
     - "file->open" opens the file dialog, depending on the PDF it dies with
       "exit 1" or it displays the PDF
     - "help->about" works
     - "help->plugins" results in "exit 1"
     - "help->accessibility" results in "exit 1"
   + skype starts
     - shows the GUI, but hangs in the linuxfutex state
   + realplayer (10.0.6.776) starts
     - "help->about" works
     - "tools->plugins" works
     - "tools->preferences" works
     - "file->open" works
     - playing a mp3 works
     - displaying a jpeg works
     - connection problems when trying to play a .rm from http://...
     - downloading the video locally and trying to play doesn't work,
       "ps -axlwww | grep linux" shows it sitting in the linuxfutex
       state

Bye,
Alexander.
