Flash is a gtk2 program, so it doesn't work. Correction to the above. I'm not a C programmer or developer, but I tweaked the "Makefile", and the git version of uzbl now builds with a recent gtk2, rather than gtk3, and consequently Flash runs fine. The tweak consists of changing 1 line in the Makefile from... ENABLE_GTK3 ?= auto ...to... ENABLE_GTK3 ?= no The git version allows you to launch multiple simultaneous instances *WITH DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION FILES*. I usually launch using the config file with plugins disabled. For the sites where I need Flash, I launch the with plugin-enabled config. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
