I have the same issue.  I upgraded gcc to 4.1.x and that has been a mess
since I rebooted.  I need to rebuild world :-)

I get the same flash issue.  Simple flash sites work, flash sites with
video mostly puke now.  I also get display issues with gnome-terminal
where all/most of the text becomes invisible until I hit enter and then
it is redrawn.

I use the binary NVidia driver and thought it was releated to that.
However I am currently downgrading x11-libs/libX11, x11-base/xorg-server
and x11-base/xorg-x11 and all the installed drivers I have under
x11-drivers/*.

I hope this will fix me up because right now I cannot get into Gnome.
