Yes, I'm having the same problem you described (below) on testing on a
32 bit machine. We're not alone, when I tried to trouble shoot this I
found a bunch of forum posts
( http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=650257 ) detailing the
issue.
A 'fix' that works for me is to right-click on the flash screen, then
double-left click on the flash button (play, pause, full-screen etc).
This works on Hulu, the only way I can view videos full screen.
Hopefully this will be resolved in the next version of the flash plugin
or gtk, but I don't understand the details.
Cheers,
Tyler
