Do you have an up-to-date > linux_base-8/linux-XFree86-libs installed? I should have posted a follow up, but I didn't think it was relevant to security. Turned out all that was needed was to add a couple of missing font paths to the font.conf file in the /compat/linux/etc/fonts directory. I now have both Acrobat Reader 7.0 and RealPlayer up and running. I still have some pretty serious concerns with how I needed to fix the uid lookup problem. What I've got going is less than elegant, not to mention a potential security issue. I'll post a follow up on this tomorrow as it's already gotten too late to be writing even this much here.
