Add new application icon to Gnome-2 Applications Menu

[Stacey Roberts]

Hello,

I installed (not sure of its success see:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=51157), and followed the
procedure at
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=523 to get
flash working, but nothing happens when I attempt to test at:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ no flash.

Furthermore, pages do not appear to be displaying very well.., There are
lots of images missing on some, and for others (www.macromedia.com) the
page is actually blank. I've not tweaked anything at FILE>PREFERENCES
menus.., I'm hoping that this is supposed to work with at least the
default settings.., or are there more steps to get linux-opera7 working?

Is something still broken?
What's with the missing images / blank pages?

Regards,

Stacey
