There are some things that bothered me, luckily fixes are available. First, when using the latest Eclipse some button clicks are not registered. This can be fixed by defining the following environment before starting eclipse;
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
Second, on 64bit the flash plugin also sometimes doesn't register mouse clicks, this is even more bothersome. In Eclipse at least you could still use the keyboard, not so in flash. To fix this you need to add the above line at the beginning of '/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/noarch/npviewer'.

i tried your fix for 64 bit flash, didn't work for me
Are you trying to fix the issue that flash does not register mouse clicks? it should work, here is the output of 'head /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/noarch/npviewer' (hopefully that makes it clearer);
#!/bin/sh
#
# nsplugin viewer wrapper script (C) 2005-2006 Gwenole Beauchesne
#
OS="`uname -s`"
ARCH="`uname -m`"
NPW_LIBDIR="/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper"
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
if test -z "$TARGET_OS"; then
worked! well done and thanks
At first sorry for my english.
Thanks for the solution, i've been looking for it a long time. Great job !!!
Hi Dirk - just found this as iplayer wasn't working for me as I have just switched over to 64 bit Karmic
Works just fine
Thanks for the fix
Roy
It annoyed me for months and now flash works on Karmic 64bit! Thank you very much!
PS.: could you please include Dirks code, or at least mention in the original post, that the GDK_.... should be inserted after "export", otherwise it wont work.
