Thanks for the clarification. We are still using WebKit1 for now.
We'll move to WebKit2 when the new gobject bindings are complete and
when epiphany gets ported.

This isn't working, unfortantely :(

I removed libflashplayer.so from the normal load paths, and then I
passed it to nspluginwrapper to be natively wrapped.
I also removed all other plugins just to be sure.

Then, it works in the GTK2 GtkLauncher, but fails in the GTK3 version:
only a blank space appears.
I'm confident that nspluginwrapper is being used, because in both
cases a process such as the following appears:

/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npviewer.bin --plugin
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so --connection
/org/wrapper/NSPlugins/libflashplayer.so/27990-2/419068049

Do you have more specific instructions or any other ideas?

Thanks,
Daniel
