If you want to just fix the Flash issue and get your HULU buttons back, try this: I am using Compiz as my window manager. If you are using Compiz and don’t have the Compiz Fusion Icon installed, install it with Synaptic and add it to your startup items. This will place a Compiz cube icon in your panel. Any time you experience the issue, just right-click the cube and choose “Reload Window Manager.” That will fix the issue, but not permanently. You will probably have to repeat this process in future sessions, but at least you can use Flash controls while you experiment with the longer term solutions listed above.

What I DON’T like is polluting my Subversion repository with old _notes folders generated by DW for template and file synchronization operations. It’s easy enough to delete all of the folders, but that will cause trouble for you when you try to commit and Subversion can’t figure out what happened to the files. Worse yet, an update before committing just plops those folders right back in place.

The solution is to use subversion’s delete function in combination with core shell tools to quickly remove all those files and keep Subversion informed of the changes.

Just cd to the top of your SVN working copy and do:

svn rm  `find . -type d -name _notes` --force

The –force flag is not necessary unless you have accidentally opened your project in DW to do a quick S&R and find that a bunch of unversioned _notes folders have appeared. Using –force just makes sure that you get both versioned and unversioned instances without any warnings.
