Richard,

One more data point.  I have another system which I use for sanity
checking and testing.  The same problems exhibit themselves on the other
system and when running mozilla/galeon under a virgin account and under
root.

qpkg -I -i reveals the following:
media-video/realplayer-8-r5 *
net-www/mozilla-1.3_beta *
net-www/galeon-1.3.3 *
x11-base/xfree-4.2.1-r2 *

Is this the same as your working configuration?

Did you try to view RealPlayer video at news.com?

Thanks again,

-Arthur
