Firefox about:plugins reports "everything" is installed,
except for mozplugger claiming that it was not even
configured. I yum removed this, tried again - no
dice. But further testing reveal that MOST SWF files
worked - just that some do not. Different versions
of SWF are not compatable?

You don't say which Flash player you are using. If it's the Adobe
one,
it should work for all sites. If it's gnash or swfdec then some
things
won't work.

I believe he did in the output:
"Starting process: /usr/bin/gtk-gnash"


Hmm... so should I fix this? If so, how please?

If you don't mind a non-free Flash player, install the Adobe one. Go to
www.adobe.com and follow the trail to the download page. Download the
Linux rpm version and install:

yum remove gnash
yum localinstall <downloaded flash-plugin rpm file>

Also, make sure you have libflashsupport. If your system is 64-bit
you'll need *both* libflashsupport.i386 and libflashsupport.x86_64.

You may want to install the Adobe repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d. That
way the Flash plugin will stay up to date.
