yes, there is no algorithm to sort out the older ones yet.

there is no version numbering in the Netscape plugin api. I've just chang=
ed=20
the search order in cvs. Now the plugin in the home directory is prefered=
 to=20
the global ones.=20

The first one is selected.

The plugins are stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/nsplugins/cache. You can chan=
ge=20
it manually if you want. The plugin viewer iterates through the list unti=
l it=20
finds a suitable plugin for a given mime type. If you want to deactivate=20
certain plugin, just delete the lines for that plugin.
I plan to add some administration features to the kcontrol module for 2.0=
1 or=20
2.1. Until now you have to edit the files manually. There is no way to ad=
d=20
this for 2.0 because of the feature freeze.
