CoverViewer
CoverViewer is an XMMS plugin that displays images related to the files being played. The displayed image can be a copy of the cover of the album you are playing or anything else you want. It creates a personalised skin for itself using the current XMMS skin, and you can control song playing from its interface. It includes a function that can automatically retrieve covers you don't have from the Internet, using file tag information to get the artist and album name.

I'm not really familiar with this sys, so it may not be "really well made".
I think it should work with Redhat, and I'm quite sure it won't with Suse
