[Gnash-dev] Gnash plugin in WebKit and Konqueror

[John Wimer]

Hello,

In the Gnash plugin, there is a check made to check the toolkit being  
used by the browser (NPNVToolkit). A comment suggests that GTK2 is  
required, and the code returns an error if it's not set. I don't know  
why this is required. Can anyone enlighten me?

I commented out this check and was able to have the plugin load  
successfully in the QtWebKit based browser Arora. When the plugin  
launched gtk-gnash, there was a drawing error, the area that gnash  
would draw into was only the top-left corner of the space that it  
should. Oddly, reloading the page always seemed to make it work the  
second time.

When I set GNASH_PLAYER to run kde4-gnash, everything worked perfectly.


Konqueror 4.2 is another story. Here there are 2 different plugins,  
the kpart, and the normal NSAPI one.

I don't know how to get the kpart one seems to basically work, but  
there's a bug in fullscreen mode. I can look into this and hopefully  
solve it this week for the release.

For the NSAPI plugin, loading the Preferences or Settings dialog while  
downloading content leads to the plugin dying with the following  
message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gnash::GnashException'
  what():  error polling data from connection to

call

I think this can be fixed without too much effort, but I probably  
don't have the time this week.

Happy Hacking
