I found some time to work on this. On a reasonably fresh Ubuntu 7.10
VMware image, I compiled the SVN snapshots of kdelibs and kdebase. I can
run Konqueror but I can't get it to see the Flash plugin. I remember
that Konqueror has to be told to register a new plugin. However, all the
Konqueror settings dialogs are blank.

Do I need to running a full KDE desktop for Konqueror to work?
