No, I hadn't patched emulators/linux-ePSXe myself, but I did this time based on 
your recommendation below.

Yeah, that seemed to be the problem, once I got linux-xorg-libs uninstalled, 
RealPlayer works.  Although it refused to exit and froze, I had to CTRL+C in the 
console to kill it.

I also got some other Gtk errors about libbonoboui missing this time.

Installing x11-toolkits/linux-f8-qt33 did indeed get rid of those messages.
