Image Viewer: have you tried gqview - I think it comes with Red Hat, and is the best viewer for images. Does slide shows and has a simple interface! I wish there was an equvilent on Windows.
OpenOffice.org writer - you can change the autocomplete key. I think it's somewhere in the options (sorry, at work atmo and only have MS Word). You can choose space, tab, enter or some others.
Play movies: I actually prefer the Windows media player interface - wierd, eh?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;)
Real Player - version 8 is available - it's the one that doesn't try to take over your machine too. It's available in rpm format (http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html<nobr>)<wbr></nobr> , and you may need to install using a "force" option (ie, rpm -i --force real...). I quite like it, though the file dialog is a bit crappy.
MP3 playback - hmm, a problem with Red Hat alone I'm afraid. You can download the library, but I'm a Mandrake user and don't really know what to do. Nautilus also has a preview option for MP3's - just hover the cursor over a file and it plays!

Hope this helps you!
