[Bug 410407] Re: Clicking on items in Flash player does nothing [READ DESCRIPTION]

[Evan Martin]

I am the Chromium developer who fixed this again.

Not that anyone cares anymore, but: the problem was that Flash breaks if GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS isn't set.
The first fix was to set that in our plugin process before starting Flash.

However, GTK clears the environment variable after initializing.  So
with nspluginwrapper we would set the variable, initialize GTK, and then
call into the plugin (nspluginwrapper), which would then spawn its
helper process which then would run Flash without the variable set.

So as of today's release of Chrome we set the variable, initialize GTK,
and then immediately set the variable again before calling into the
plugin.

It seems Firefox may have this second bug as well.
