Please do not flame the developer/maintainer. After re-installing
mplayerplug-in, RealPlayer10, and a few others applications I can
make, change, and create links in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and have
them reflected in about:plugins for Firefox-1.5.0.12 and
mozilla-seamonkey. One of those packages set a switch. Now, I just
have to find out what was set or reset.
