The latter is very irritating: is it working for anyone? What happens is it pops-up to say I don't have permission to connect (both debug and release players). When I click settings it opens up firefox with the settings window. But they are now already set to allow the directory I'm running from (and running it as file:// URL in firefox works). (I've also tried explicitly allowing the swf file as well.)
This is the standard Flash sandbox security model in Action. This would happen to you on Window and Macintosh as well. It is extremely confusing to the user to have this popup occur. There are ways around it though. Take a look at these articles listed on Mike Chamber's blog: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mesh/archives/2005/08/new_flash_8_pla.html
What is curious is that firefox and the standalone player *are* sharing settings. E.g. I changed the allowed local storage space in the standalone player (by right-clicking and choosing settings) and the new limit shows up when doing the same in the firefox plugin. And vice versa.
It's all the same setting for the Flash player whether it's a browser plugin or the stand alone player. We were having security issues similar to this (and other ones as well like cross-scripting limitations) with a standalone projector application. We switched to ScreenweaverHX instead of a projector and things are working smoothly now (it acts just like the Firefox plugin). We don't have to support Linux, so I'm not sure if will work for you, as I don't know if Screenweaver HX works on Linux yet. Good luck.
