Thanks; I found the GTK code last night and wrote an invalidate  
handler that makes the view redraw only what it is told to redraw. Now  
the world is safe for democracy. :)

The Mac OS X version is coming along nicely, with only a few things I  
know I need to do before I can make a release:

1. HTTP streaming (should be straightforward; Mac OS X has URL  
connection classes for HTTP streaming)
2. Multimedia (I'm going to have to look into integrating Swfdec with  
QuickTime, since I can't get GStreamer to build statically, and any  
solution that depends on external plugins is unacceptable on Mac OS X)
3. JavaScript interface for the Web browser plugin
4. Testing, testing, testing

I look forward to lighting a proverbial fire underneath Adobe's Mac  
Flash team. :) And thanks for your work on Swfdec.
