  Actually that's easy. The SDL version doesn't support the right mouse 
button
menu, only the GTK version does.

  Gnash plays over 60% of the movies I've collected off the net. Right 
now I've been web surfing with the plugin enabled and haven't had a 
single problem with the movies playing correctly.

 I'm going to add a "test page" to the Gnash web site for this purpose, 
but any of the movies in gnash/testsuite should also be good for testing.

  Arg... I think I know the problem. Like a moron, I checked in a 
hardcoded path "/usr/local/bin/gnash" in plugin.cpp, so I guess the 
player isn't starting cause the path is wrong. I just made this path 
based on the $exec_prefix instead, so the plugin will look where ever 
Gnash got installed.

  It should be turned on by default, maybe it broke. I can add a menu 
option for this and try it.
