OK, I picked the first one, "Rock 'n' Roll At Your Fingertips"

Yes, it did, but after trying for ~10 secs a pop-up appeared:
Some components are not available to provide playback of this
presentation on your system"
Clicking "More Info" took me to
http://service.real.com/errors/more_information.html?errorid=notdef&hurlid=75618157
and this message:
RealSystem G2 Messages
This is an infrequently occurring error message, and therefore we
have not provided a solution in this list. Please send e-mail to
Technical Support using the Support Request form. In your request,
please include the error message text as well as what you were doing
just prior to the message's appearance.
I've changed all instances of ``%u'' to ``%s'' as recommended by
someone else.
BTW, the original problem of it just playing "Welcome.rm" was because
I hadn't realized that the 2 scripts, pluginstall.sh and
postinstall.sh were per-user and had only run them as root.
I'm still trying to find a .rpm file to fire up the plugin.
I'm beginning to think that RealPlayer is a load of crap <sigh>

If I buy a copy of WinDelete, and it doesn't delete Windows,
am I entitled to my money back?
