Hi,
to make sure I had no trouble to send the bug report I uninstalled both 
gnash and klash.
As for the flashplugin-nonfree it doesn't want to install as can be seen 
from the synaptic log.

Download done.
md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

(to make sure to get the latest file, I've removed the /var/cache
/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz file
beforehand)

What can I do to help investigate this further ?
Thanks
Guillaume
