Upstream has removed it from the blacklist (see url).
Per upstream bug comments, we still need the gecko-mediaplayer[gnome] blocker. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24507#c66 Patch dropped in my overlay. https://bitbucket.org/floppym/chromium-overlay/changeset/37f34863d663
I think we should keep gecko-mediaplayer USE flag, and provide a new revision of the patch that would add gecko-mediaplayer to the blacklist when it is built with gconf support.
Perhaps blacklisting is no more necessary, I removed gecko-mediaplayer[gnome] block and I have no problem with gecko-mediaplayer with gnome USE (gconf) I tried with http://www.bfmtv.com/rub/live/14/home/live/ and checked about:plugins. (Fully works and no freeze) ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= www-plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-1.0.0 was built with the following: USE="gnome (multilib)" www-client/chromium-9999 was built with the following: USE="cups gecko-mediaplayer gnome gnome-keyring (multilib) -test" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native -ggdb -DGENTOO_CHROMIUM_ENABLE_GECKO_MEDIAPLAYER" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native -ggdb -DGENTOO_CHROMIUM_ENABLE_GECKO_MEDIAPLAYER"

We have a known problem with gecko-mediaplayer on Gentoo (bug #351123). Does it reproduce for you? (please comment in bug #351123, not here)

gecko-mediaplayer[gnome] blocker and chromium-gecko-mediaplayer patch have been removed from chromium-9999-r1. Upstream bug is closed. As said in comment #3, everything is ok (except for specific bug #351123). This bug could be set as fixed.
