I dont seem to have an issue with gnash on 32 bit arch, other than no
playing flash content made with newest flash and i cant be certain that
is the problem but as far as i can tell that would be it. Now for swfdec
is giving alot of people problems but it is not needed to run gnash or
flash IIRC it was used for 64bit systems before we had gnash and the
nspluginwrapper, I was thinking about proposing to remove it from
archives for intrepid but i will ping Alexander about this sometime this
week.
