I'm just thinking now -- given that I have a rather more detailed 
understanding of where the problem lies, I can construct a significantly 
less-invasive fix for the problem.  By modifying the routine that Flash 
uses to select its visual to avoid the ARGB visuals, I've fixed the Flash 
problem without impacting other applications.  So, a user could just set 
an environment variable globally and avoid the problem nicely.

Is this a nicer fix?  What should I call the environment variable?
