Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2016-12-14 08:55:15 UTC

gdk_x11_window_get_drawable_impl() is exported by libgdk-x11-2.0, see Bug 525154 for details.

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2016-12-14 08:56:08 UTC

gdk_x11_window_get_drawable_impl was apparently only added in 2.17.11 / 2.18.0:

https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/commit/d0ac27fe5f95a92af8cb40ed3db6d35e1874851f

They seem to be a simple accessor functions, that we'd possibly be able to avoid if we could change source, but that's not possible for binary-only Flash Player.

Comment 5 Tomas Hoger 2016-12-14 09:22:37 UTC

Note that RHEL 5.6 and later is still listed as supported by Adobe:

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/modal/?content=flashSystemRequirement&loc=en&version=24.0.0.186&os=Linux&fakeajax

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.6 or later (32-bit and 64-bit) openSUSE® 11.3 or later (32-bit and 64-bit) Ubuntu 10.04 or later (32-bit and 64-bit)

Another RHEL-5 incompatibility was fixed by Adobe in the past - see bug 1271638.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2016-12-17 09:25:08 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 7 Martin Stransky 2017-01-31 12:53:00 UTC

RHEL5 is going EOL soon and the next FF release here will be the last one. And we're not going to fix that here.
