You might want to reconsider installing this program at all (or installing it 
from Real's supplied RPM or installer program).  On the FreshRPMs.net mailing 
list Matthew Lenz says that Real's packaging will overwrite the icons for media 
formats their player can read with "Real" branded icons.  Even for users who 
don't mind proprietary software, this seems particularly unpleasant.  I would 
also wonder about problems uninstalling or upgrading a theme because the files 
on the disk no longer match what's described in the package.

See http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2004-August/010510.html 
for the thread.
