Only remember that on x86_64 icedtea should be the default for ALL
mandriva versions, as there is no other java that provides plugin for 64
bits browser and nspluginwrapper doesn't support java plugin yet

Gnash works better every day, but there are still a lot of webpages that
still require flashplayer :-(, personally, I prefer default to
nspluginwrapper+flashplayer (for amd64). It works ok (at least with
epiphany). On the other hand, I have seen that fedora-dev (8 and coming
fedora9) applies some patches to nspluginwrapper that could be
interesting:
