  Well, no. I never thought of adding that kind of support. I guess I
could, but to me these are more hardware oriented settings. .gnashrc is
oriented towards end user settings.

  No, actually I think that's the best idea. If the FB GUI is the only
thing that cares about these few settings, I'd load them via a simple
XML based config file. The XML code in Gnash works pretty well, this is
the type of thing it's to be used for.
