That is why i was so surprised because at the first look there is no reason
why it stops for you and for me not. Me personally fells unwell if i have to
run makepkg under root acout but i can understand why you can live with your
workaround.-)

Hmm, i don't know if i understand you in the right way but the solution from
the url is to get the new flashplugin 9.0.115 work together with an unpatched
konqueror. The NPP backend of kmplayer is only used for running a Netscape
XEmbed plugin and the look is the same as before with the older flashplugin.
I don't know what you mean with interactvity but this be my two test pages
which works well:

[Is this interactiv enough?]

But please don't think i want to induce you to change your working system.

I'm lazy so one extra line in makepkg is my favorite.-) If you want you can
post (or send me) your PKGBUILD from kdelibs and i will try it as normal
user.

See you, Attila
