So shines a good deed > in a naughty world. = Shakespeare. "The Merchant of Venice" > OK, based on various Q&A: 1. My desktop is gnome, not KDE. 2. Firefox 1.5.0.9 3. Flash plugin is 9.0.31.0-1.el4 4. I have been able to successfully play flash apps and hear audio from the browser on RHEL4 Update 4 in VMWare Workstation without aborting the browser. (I went seeking other sources of flash apps.) 5. It appears that Flash 9 player (and plugin) are far more stable than Flash 8, not to be confused with Flash 8 development tools, or Flash 2 server. Conclusion, the flash application in question that started all of this is suspect. Thank you to everyone that responded. I definitely get more perspective from these lists than I tend to consider on my own.
