That was pretty much what I meant in the paragraph below, I never 
thought of anything on the menu as "undisplayed" in that sense.

I'm running plain 32 bit x86. That lib is not required by the adobe 
9.0.115 or 9.0.124 rpms, so I don't know what to make of that. Nothing 
loaded it, and flash had sound without it until I went to cnn.com, so 
I'm dubious it's needed for x86.
