Upgrading Nspluginwrapper
Nspluginwrapper is a program that let's you use Flash plug-in and other video stuff on 64-bit Linux even though many of those plug-ins are only written to run on 32 bit systems. It tuns out that the libraries make this complicated. I'd been having problems with Pandora, and I thought upgrading from version 0.9.91.5 to 1.2.2 would help (it didn't). Here is what I had to do to make that happen
I had to download the file:
1.2.2-0ubuntu5
Then install several additional libraries:
libcurl4-gnutls-dev
The multilib library for gcc or g++
then the usual
./configure
make
sudo make install
I thought all this might help someone else.

Update: Once I did the above and then followed the directions at How to Install
Adobe Flash Player 64-bit on Ubuntu 8.10 I was able to eliminate the gray screen problem.
