Linux Realplayer

For all those folks out there who could not get the standalone
helix realplayer to display menu text or button images, or who
had the acrobat plugin recognized by Firefox but not working, I
have found installing the latest linux-pango and linux-gtk fixed
things on my system.

Since the RUN_DEPENDS of linux-realplayer and acroread7 specify a
symbolic link which does not contain precise version info, the
gtk+ dependency will be satisifed by older, incompatible versions
of linux-gtk2.

The mystery for me, was where the older version of the library
came from.  I originally tried to portupgrade linux-gtk2, but it
told me that port wasn't installed.
