Adobe keeps all of the old versions (including debug) archived here for
situations like this.
The Flash 9 download is 100+ meg because it includes all of the builds for
all of the platforms. I found that the newest one has the smurf effect, but
the second to last doesn't, ymmv.

> If every software vendor assumed that the client is using a single-user
PC, Sun Ray would be impossible.

True. I wasn't arguing that they made a good choice or even a valid
assumption.
Even in VirtualBox this happens during boot with the WinXP logo unless I run
VBoxSDL, so this isn't the only situation where we get smurfing.
To your point:

> X applications ought to use the X interfaces correctly.

You're absolutely right. Especially since we're talking about a product from
Adobe, I think we all expect that this shouldn't be an issue with them, but
oh well. I just hope it's fixed soon, but the ticket related to this doesn't
seem to have gotten much attention:
