No sure about how realplayer10 is being done. But I believe realplay is 
in /usr/bin.
When desktop file Exec is being invoked, it search through that binary 
in the users's PATH.
If /usr/sfw/bin comes before /usr/dist/exe in your PATH, then that is 
the copy will be launched.
I believe this is what you experienced. To make sure that you uses the 
version in /usr/dist,
you have to say:

Exec=/usr/dist/exe/acroread7


or put /usr/dist/exe before /usr/sfw/bin in PATH. Though I think this is 
a bad idea as you don;t know what
other version of exe you are picking up.
