Bug Description

[Impact]

The flash template shipped with quickly 12.04 does not work, because it uses GTK+ 3. Which doesn't work with GTK+ 2.

Also, you can't run 'package' in it because the code got broken during the 12.04 cycle but was not noticed.

While this isn't a popular template, it is shipped among the official set and should at least work. It is often recommended as a way to get an existing flash game to work quickly.

[Test Case]

cd /tmp
# download attached flash file 'game.swf'
quickly create ubuntu-flash-game ubuflash /path/to/game.swf
# Notice whether opened window contains a working flash game
# Close the window
cd ubuflash
quickly package
# Confirm that it built correctly

[Regression Potential]

The fix only affects the flash template. Since it didn't work at all in 12.04, regression potential seems low.

I've verified the fix to work:

- The game runs as expected on the source tree with 'quickly run'
- The game is correctly packaged with 'quickly package'
- The game runs well when installed

However, I've noticed that 'quickly package --extras' does not work: the files are installed in the regular /usr/share locations. There is also a warning shown when running the app (*)

I'll file a follow-up bug for that, as it was not part of the original bug.
