Okay,
  I have tried it both with the 'save to' prompt and once direct to 
disk.  The attached file is a window capture using Gimp of the 
thunderbird window that opens when I 'click' on the rpm file to begin 
the download.  As you see, it thinks it is a Real Player file so there 
is an association file that I screwed up somewhere.
