@Michael: cat "#!/bin/sh" >> npviewer.bin
You surely meant 'echo' there, not 'cat'.
@Travis: "The only workaround for Chrome/Chromium users is to disable compiz." -> this is wrong, chromium works fine once the npviewer workaround is in place.
I don't think disabling compiz, disabling a compiz plugin or reinstalling flash are actual workarounds. They might have temporarily triggered a different behaviour in some cases, but there are contradicting reports all over the comments regarding these. The proper workaround is to do the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS business.
