  It is possible to embed Gnash into any window, at least on X11 by 
passing the -x option to Gnash to set the window ID to an existing 
window. I also recently added the -j and -k options to set the window 
size to the parent window, so this should work now regardless of which 
GUI toolkit is used. This is how the plugin works now.

  The FLTK support will be an upper layer, as I don't want to have any 
GUI code in the Flash interpreter engine itself. This will reduce the 
number of dependencies required to build Gnash for GTK. The GTK support 
will continue to be maintained, since in a desktop environment that's 
what works the best. Maybe someday somebody will want to add native KDE 
support, but this isn't on the TODO list.
