 of Flash/Gnash or it something they have to fix for us?

 The flash libraries in both Gnash and Adobe's Flash need to be adapted to
 our system. That would imply for Adobe to create a new version of their
 implementation targeted to Sugar similarly to the ones they already have
 for OSX, Windows and (conventional) Linux.

 Alternatively, I think the linux implementation of Adobe's Flash uses gtk
 for the file chooser dialog. In principle, we could patch gtk to use our
 object chooser in the journal across DBus. I'm not sure this would work or
 is a good idea, though.
