Yep, been there.  The real issue is that they already
know D&D and would much rather just play than try
something else. 

What I have done instead is started to play D&D in
Glorantha. Thus I introduce the World with a system
they are familiar, then as certain things come up, I
point out how unreasonable D&D is.  After  while I
offer to let them try RQ with a different character,
but in the now familiar setting. Been working fairly
well for now.
