I went ahead to test the 9 version for first time and I am getting a  
complain about missing dependency. It needs linux-gtk2.

========================
operapluginwrapper: [plugin failed ]  
/usr/local/lib/npapi/symlinks/linux-opera/libflashplayer.so,  
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or  
directory
========================

Here either on i386. It would play for a few, but it would crash random.  
At least, it doesn't crash the browser.

========================
(process:39540): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2254: initialization  
assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:39540): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_get_for_display: assertion  
`GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
Adobe FlashPlayer: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed.  
Trying to call gtk_init(0,0);
opera: Plug-in 39540 is not responding. It will be closed.
opera: Define environment variable OPERA_KEEP_BLOCKED_PLUGIN to keep  
blocked plug-ins.
========================

Cheers,
Mezz
