> Quite possible.  Perhaps better would be to update the gnash source to cvs head?

That would be bad idea, since the cvs head is moving very fast. In
my case what fixed the X crash issues was not a change in gnash, but 
switching to the rawhide Mesa/xorg (but not to the latest drv-i810...)

It also seems the best compromise to me. It won't be a problem in next
release anyway, with streaming, and personal directory.

All the issues have been solved, so I am ready to approve. One
last thing I would like is that somewhere it is marked that gnash is
usable, but also that it won't work for many flash sites and that
it is known to crash often and even trigger bugs that crash the
graphical system (or something along those lines), either in the 
README.fedora or, maybe better, in the description.
