No, I am running -current - usually the kernel is not more than a week
late - and nspluginwrapper works just fine. I do have the latest SuSE
stuff, but Firefox is also followed with any minor upgrade, presently
at 2.0.0.11.

For some reason, though, the latest flash upgade (Jeremy's patch from
a few days ago AFAIR) stopped Opera from using it; firefox is fine.
