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?
