We should land a patch with this bug that turns the test_windowless_flash.html test back on, as the patch for this bug should fix the problems we were having with that test.

Do we have a plan to force windowless mode on x86?

No plan yet.  When I talk with benjamin and billm at Orland's work week, this is for x64 only at first.
I think that we should reconsider this for x86 after this feature on x64 is on stable channel (1-2 cycles).

We're waiting on a future release of Flash that support accelerated rendering. Hopefully this summer.
