The latest Flash player does not run in anything but Firefox/Mozilla,  
since it assumes that all browsers are GTK applications.  That of curse  
will not work for both Opera and Konqueror, which are Qt applications.  See

We have managed to solve this in the 9.5 development snapshots, but  
unfortunately a backport to 9.2x releases is not possible.
