Which gadgets are you running? This message seems from a gadget, not the gadget 
platform. We won't say "Internet Explorer" and "Google Desktop".

It's the official Google You Tube gadget.

When building GGL, you need to specify the location of the flash plugin by 
using --
with-browser-plugins-dir configure option. Otherwise GGL can't find it.

I'm sorry it's taken me a bit to reply, holidays and all. But I didn't build
anything, I installed it from the repository. So I'm guessing the version in the
repo's doesn't have this enabled in it.

ok after reading your reply about the using --with-browser-plugins-dir option I 
went
ahead and compilied from source all seemed to go well except I'm still having 
this
problem. it appears to be this way with all flash gadgets not just the official
google you tube gadget.
