I've discovered that flash player gets confused when it sees a depth 32 visual available from the server. I'm sure this is a bug in that code, but there's not exactly a lot we can do about it. I hacked Xlib to ignore depth 32 visuals when an environment variable (XLIB_ IGNORE_ARGB32) is set so that I can run mozilla and still see the fine flash content available on the net. I'm hoping this won't be a problem for many applications; it's a bit hard to understand why flash had this problem (it seems weird to happen upon a non-default visual and use it's depth when creating images, but not use it for creating windows). -keith
