A note on the quirk mode added to flash. The problem is that flash appears to
be using gdk_visual_get_system() to draw to the Drawable instead of the visual
provided by us. As a result, when provided with transparent pixmap (which
requires a 32-bit visual) flash fails because it uses the system default visual
(for example, 24-bit).

To verify that is indeed the case, I shadowed the above gdk symbol
(gdk_visual_get_system) to return a 32-bit visual. And it works with
transparent pixmaps. This 'hack' was found unsuitable for Qt/WebKit since many
libraries have started using -Bsymbolic-functions and probably not possible
with all platforms/compilers.
