By the way, if you want to see Youtube videos with Gnash, you'll need
the latest dev version. The one in the Ubuntu repositories no longer

But you could use youtube-dl to download the videos and watch them
with totem. Or you could install totem plugins and use the youtube
plugin to search and stream the videos directly in totem.
