Definitely not that particular bug / not that obviously -- as I said, I
had quite a few crashes when trying to implement npruntime, but it's just
hard to say whose fault they were, as the implementation was incomplete as
well. (Though it could do stuff like find out the number of frames, etc.).
I am just not very good at debugging stuff w/a stripped library...

What Flash 7 used to do was something like:
*(int*)dlsym("gtk_major_version") for some ABI revisions. Which, of
course, crashes with a null pointer exception w/nspluginviewer.

I would definitely agree with that, and in our end, it may be nicer not to
use Xt (though I am not sure supporting both Xt and XEmbed wouldn't be
scarier).

This is very, very, good to hear, and might mean that I might try to do
the XEmbed thing, if I can find something to test with, though it's in no
way guaranteed --- way too much other stuff to do, and npruntime support
would be more important... Flash is basically -the- critical plugin we
care about, just about everything else is replaceable natively.

Thanks,
