I'm sorry, Greg, I thought, it is still unavailable. I did not read the page 
in full, because I had my own recollection of the matter -- some years ago I 
tried building the plugin myself and saw the problem with the cast somewhere 
in it... I think, we even had a conversation on the subject, but I can not 
find it :(

But, anyway, I still need Citrix and thus can not use the native browser...

Can anyone respond to the original question? Thanks!
