  Usually I only see this behavior when the player is using gtk_plug(), 
instead of creating a new window. This code is in gnash.cpp:main(), but 
should be commented out. This uses the -x option to force the window id, 
which is what gtk_plug() is supposed to do. But I just get a blank window.

  That almost sounds like it's not playing at all.

  I don't like having to create a new window either, but there seems to 
be some weird stuff going on with visuals and graphics contexts. This 
isn't permanent, it's just a temporary hack till the bug gets tracked 
down and fixed.

 You can't get any terminal output from the plugin unless you do a 
debug build of Mozilla from source. You can add more options to the argv 
list for Gnash however, in nsPluginInstance::startProc(), or add a 
         dbglogfile.setVerbosity(2); in main() someplace.

Gnash by default will write a debug log called gnash-dbg.log to your 
home directory when using the plugin.
