Two things that made it all work when I started this Gtk based plugin:
- libflashplayer insisted up finding a GtkWindow, I couldn't directly
plugin the GtkPlug from libflashplayer in a QtXEmbed window, but had
to create a GtkPlug with a GtkSocket child widget to overcome this.
- calling 'g_thread_init (NULL)' as first thing in main() solved the
remaining instabilities.
