Hi,

Here's the problem:

ports/www/flashplugin-mozilla crashs if X server does not support the
MIT-SHM extension.

I used the cygwin X server and I get this kind of error when I load any page
with flash content in any browser that uses Gecko.

It crashs the whole browser instead of reporting an error....

Uninstalling the flashplugin-mozilla fixes the problem.

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 137 error_code 9 request_code 62 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
