I have exactly the same packages and Java plugin it does work actually,
but flashplayer does not. May be due to the fact that you compiled
yourself mozilla-1.4 and I got it from gnome2.2/mozilla-1.3 repository?

I have made my own debian packages from sun binaries if you are

There is another thing probably related to sound configuration that I mentioned
in a previous message:
1 - I must often kill esd daemon as it blocks gnome applications and the desktop taskbar
2 - Gnome sound recorder crashes when trying to execute it.
You may have meet the same problem and find the solution.
