It would be really great it if Mandrake could do that. Current behaviour
which freezes whole desktop is definitely not an preferred option.
Good (maybe more trickier) would try to check from the RPM-files header
whether the data is in Red Hat RPM or the Real Player RPM-format.

If there was some way to get the MIME type. ISTR that there's no
provision for MIME in FTP and many HTTP servers identify *.rpm as Real
Player by default. Mdk could change the default Mozilla mapping to be
Red Hat RPM, though, in their patches, though, I suppose.
