Okay, turns out you only need to install the flashplugin-nonfree package to fix this, installing gnash is unneccessary. The issue is, as stated above, probably having flash installed before hand on 7.04 with nsplugin wrapper. i used the nspluginwrapper install script by kilz, over in ubuntu forums. Small bug but one that has affected many, as indicated by the number of replies to my thread describing the fix (again, ubuntuforums)
