Ok. I'll close.
Mind you: there should be a way to install snapshots of the development version. I don't really do that so dunno how well it's working, but there should be both binary packages and source tarballs, from getgnash.org entry point.

I just use the releases, not the git tree. I reported the bug against 0.8.9 and there's been no release since then, so I can't test. Go ahead and close it if you think it's fixed.

c40fd75 fixes this in an hopefully centralized place.
I actually haven't tried SDL or QT guis, but gtk is fine with it.
All gui needs do is trust RunResources, the unified commanline parser will do the rest.

But second of those broke command-line override

Gnash 0.8.9 ignores the "Renderer" setting from the rc file(s), and defaults to the "agg" renderer even when the agg renderer hasn't been built. This results in the error to the terminal (when running the plugin through firefox):

Error: Support for renderer agg was not built

... Despite the fact that the "cairo" renderer is selected in the rc file.

The problem is in the gui/gnash.cpp source file, line 385, where the default setting is specified as "agg". This causes settings in the RC file to be ignored and also prevents the logic for choosing a sensible default from coming into play. Changing the default to "" (i.e. the empty string) completely fixes the problem.

Also: there is no 0.8.9 release in the bug database for me to file against.
