Description Mark 2003-11-05 03:47:35 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          GCC 3.2.2 
OS:          Linux

When loading a page with a flash plugin (http://www.homestarrunner.com, for example) with recent CVS, I alternately (on various reloads) get a white or black box where the flash would appear.

Running Konqueror from the console results in the following when viewing the page:

vmark@valhalla:~> konqueror http://www.homestarrunner.com
QDict: Cannot insert null item
nspluginviewer: ERROR: ERROR 3: couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'javascript'.
nspluginviewer: 


Strangely enough, I can right click on the empty box and access the Macromedia menu, but the animation itself never plays.
