    Hi, if you downloaded the RPM from here http://www.real.com/linux you must start Real Player for the first time from the terminal or the Alt + F2 shortcut, it will show the first time wizard, after that you can use it normally but there is not icon o something like that.

    You can open your rmvb files (real media files ) hitting the secondary button over one of them and select "open with another apps" (i dont know the exact english name because I use the spanish version) and write realplay.

    Hope that helps.

    Sorry for my bad english.

    Right click to bring up advanced settings on desktop and select "Run" then enter
    /opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay
    This will take you to the setup wizard. I can only use this app this way and by importing files or urls to the playlist.
