Yes, it did, but after trying for ~10 secs a pop-up appeared: Some components are not available to provide playback of this presentation on your system" Clicking "More Info" took me to http://service.real.com/errors/more_information.html?errorid=notdef&hurlid=75618157 and this message: RealSystem G2 Messages This is an infrequently occurring error message, and therefore we have not provided a solution in this list. Please send e-mail to Technical Support using the Support Request form. In your request, please include the error message text as well as what you were doing just prior to the message's appearance.

BTW, the original problem of it just playing "Welcome.rm" was because I hadn't realized that the 2 scripts, pluginstall.sh and postinstall.sh were per-user and had only run them as root. I'm still trying to find a .rpm file to fire up the plugin.
