At some point Flash askes the browser what toolkit it's using. The NP API from Mozilla gives two possible answers: Gtk 1.2 and Gtk 2. Obviously Opera has neither and answers in all honesty: nothing.
Flash at this point barfs and dies, even though it has already been linked with all relevant Gtk 2 libraries.

Actually, I thought Patricia had made the plugin wrapper use gtk. I know she planned to do it, since we realized that plug-in authors were depending on running under firefox once they finally realized that netscape 4 was dead.

I see. So either the plug-in wrapper is gtk and we've just forgotten to say so. Or flash asks for something it doesn't actually use. Ouch, either way.

Yes, ouch. If you want to take a look at my code to see what I did, I hereby claim Opera shall not be tainted. *smile*

I'll leave that to the people actually working on it. Thanks for testing that it works though. Maybe that will give someone sufficient incentive to fix it (or at least to "fix" it...).
