Konqueror doesn't use the Java plug in.

But, yes you are correct.  Although the KCM listed *a* flash plugin, I 
find that it was an older version hiding in my old (4.80) Netscape 
installation which I haven't used for a long time.

I tried the old one again and PD's example works fine -- even the flash 
works.

So, yes the problem appears to be the current Adobe Flash 9 plugin.  Do 
we have a bug for this issue?

Perhaps we need a feature to start Flash only on request like the 
Firefox plugin.
