I see. So this will work either with your mentioned hack or when Adobe
releases Flash with GTK3 support (if ever). It seems that former seems
more possible, because Adobe compiles Flash for Firefox/Mozilla and
they are using GTK2 so I don't see iniciative for them to go for GTK3
right now. Not good but ohh well that's life.
