The Flash problem is solved!!!
The problem was in step 2:

> 2. Install linuxpluginwrapper:
> # cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
> # make WITHOUT_PLUGINS=yes install clean

I just explored the /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper/Makefile and I saw this:

.if             !defined(WITHOUT_PLUGINS)
RUN_DEPENDS=    ${X11BASE}/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so:${PORTSDIR}/
www/linux-flashplugin6
RUN_DEPENDS+=   ${X11BASE}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so:${PORTSDIR}/mult
imedia/linux-realplayer
#RUN_DEPENDS+=  ${LINUXBASE}/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf
.so:${PORTSDIR}/print/acroread7

.if             ${OSVERSION} < 500000
USE_MOTIF=      yes
.endif

.endif

I had defined WITHOUT_PLUGINS=yes, which meant that the nested .if
expession about using Motif on my system was not executed. My system
needs Motif to get the Flash plugin running. So I deinstalled it, and
installed it without defining this configuration variable:

# cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
# make install clean

Now, Flash works!!!

You can see also that I've commented out the line that will install
Acroread7 as a dependency, because I thought that Acroread5 will work
just fine for me. Obviously I am mistaken, because I still can't open
*.PDF in an embeded browser. And now, I'm just going to try another
install and maybe will use Acroread7.

Best Regards,
Vladimir
