I have never managed to get Realplayer to work inside Netscape/Mozilla,
however the client works perfectly on its own. I just downloaded it and
ran it.
Flash also works fine under Mozilla 1.0. All you have to do is download
the required files (Mozilla has a link somewhere - press the Mozilla
spinner thing on your browser) and copy the plugin into the right
location.
GNOME, Sawfish, and Ximian (which isn't a 'thing', more a group of
people) aren't anything to do with it.
The only things I can't get working are Java applets, but I've not
really been trying that hard. Adobe's PDF plugin seems to work well
though.
If you don't know, typing "about:plugins" into your Mozilla addressbar
will tell you what plugins are loaded, and if you run Mozilla from a
command prompt (XTerm, Gnome terminal, etc) you might see some errors
that could help pinpoint any problems you're having.
