It is fine to have several versions of the plugin. I also have Gnash 
(installed system-wide) and Adobe's Flash installed in my mozilla home 
folder, this way I can see how both work: Firefox uses Adobe flash while 
Epiphany loads Gnash :-)

No, of course, you have to manually copy/paste the above URI into 
Iceape's location bar and wait for the results. It's a flash player test 
page for your browser.

But that will not solve your Iceape's problem with flash player and video 
plugins :-?

Don't worry, I wish all the errors were like that ;-)
