New Flash sessions carry on the DNS address of whomever I'm hooked to
*at the time I start opera* so plugins are most definately getting
their DNS from opera.

I dunno if it's 'cause of the way y'all are using libresolv (or similar),
but it's appearing to take on the first DNS I use. Try it and see.

Oh, most of my Opera sessions have plugins off! (Of course, that's an
unfortunate side-effect of having operapluginwrapper spin so much), but
yeah, that and turning off a lot of JS actions is the way to go most times.
