You're welcome. I was working on a patch to fix those problems, but an update 
to -CURRENT broke the linuxpluginwrapper port and it doesn't compile. Our 
6-STABLE machines are all in production and I don't want to experiment on 
them. I'll just have to wait till the port maintainer fixes the probs. with 
-CURRENT and I'll address it from there. AFIK, the fixes I posted still work 
with 6 and below. 

FWIW, I've emailed the maintainer a couple of times with questions about 
linuxpluginwrapper and received no response, so I don't have any idea about 
the state of this port.
