You're welcome. I was working on a patch to fix those problems, but an upda=
te=20
to -CURRENT broke the linuxpluginwrapper port and it doesn't compile. Our=20
6-STABLE machines are all in production and I don't want to experiment on=20
them. I'll just have to wait till the port maintainer fixes the probs. with=
=20
=2DCURRENT and I'll address it from there. AFIK, the fixes I posted still w=
ork=20
with 6 and below.=20

=46WIW, I've emailed the maintainer a couple of times with questions about=
=20
linuxpluginwrapper and received no response, so I don't have any idea about=
=20
the state of this port.
