I went to /usr/lib, moved nspluginwrapper to x_nspluginwrapper and
rebooted.
First WOW! The sluggish behavior of the iceape browser was gone. It
brought up the adobe.com/software/flash/about site immediately BUT still
with no images. Checking about:plugins I found the gnash plugin moved
to the top of the list.
Next, I went to /usr/lib, moved gnash to x_gnash and rebooted
Second WOW! Not only was the iceape browser now lightning fast but also
when the adobe.com/software/flash/about site came up there were not only
images but also a test result showing the version of flash I was using.
In all the other visits to this web site I had never seen this and had
searched in vain for clickable test command.
All my problems are solved.
