[Opera-Linux] plugins not always detected

[Pomarede Nicolas]

hello,

under linux x86 32 bits, using opera-9.50-20071130.6-shared-qt.i386.rpm 
(but the problem was also present with previous snapshot), I noticed that 
plugins are not always fully loaded.

For example, sometime I get a message telling me I need to install flash. 
If I click in 'find new' in the plugins config window, flash is detected 
and added to the list of plugins (without changing the plugin path or 
anything).

Other test I just made : all plugins are loaded, I click on 'find new 
plugins', they all disappear !
I click 2 times on 'find new', nothing changes, but on the 3rd times, 
plugins are found again and loaded (and they appear in opera:plugins)

This is my plugins dir (also used by firefox) :
