I really haven't paid that much attention to the shockwave issue on 
Linux as I don't hear complaints about it much anymore. I used to hear 
it all the time because clients kids trying to access stuff like 
cartoonnetwork.com were all over shockwave. I would like to think that 
the reason I don't hear much about it is because sites are shying away 
from it as flashplayer gets more and more robust, but that's probably 
wishful thinking. I also have gotten confused in the past as to what was 
shockwave and what was flashplayer, for instance, here is the output of 
about:plugins in my firefox after installing the latest flash9 plugin;
Shockwave Flash

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 9.0 d55

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf 	Yes
application/futuresplash 	FutureSplash Player 	spl 	Yes
