Hmmm.. no clue (where to look?)

I just apt-get installed flashplugin-nonfree -- didn't link anything 
that I know of, don't know about multiple plug-in folders, etc.

But I discovered something today.  If I go into Konqueror 
settings>>plug-ins and uncheck "use artsd for plug-ins" (or something 
like that), Flash works fine although silently -- but at least it 
doesn't crash my browser.  So it looks like I'm back to the the old 2.6 
kernel vs. kde/artsd madness.

Cheers,
Sean
