I cannot talk about gnash, I tried it a long long time ago and it
disappointed me a lot as almost nothing was working. I know that since then
it has become much better. I know that developpers of gnash and swfdec talk
a lot and share ideas and tests and things like that, both teams seem to be
quite cooperative.
What got my attention on swfdec was that it was the first on supporting
youtube and most of all its zero crash policy.

For what I know version 2.22 comes with swfdec-gnome, that is why the
version numbering of swfdec-gnome got changed to match gnome's and current
is 2.22 also.
Anyway... I really think that installing either of them (maybe a recommends
with both as alternatives) would be a good solution. I'd say that swfdec is
a better solution for that "need to click to view" feature, as it seems
safer (security thinking) than displaying everything by default.
