 WP 2.9 should add this line

 <param name='wmode' value='transparent' />

 among other params inside the object tag when inserting a video from
 Youtube and others sites.

 Also, it should add

 <embed ... wmode="transparent" ... >

 in the the embed tag.

 While these parameters are already present in the press-this.php file, the
 standard writing panel doesn't include them.

 If these declarations are not present, the video overlaps another element
 in the page that should be on top of others elements (such as a dropdown
 menu that would be hidden by a flash video).
