I have 32-bit flash plugin working with 64-bit firefox ( e.g. for
testing, I can go to youtube.com and see videos ) by using the
nspluginwrapper.

However, the flash plugin it does not seem to work with konqueror.
>From what I have read, 64-bit konqueror should work with both 32-bit
and 64-bit plugin, but what I get at youtube.com is: "Hello, you
either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's
Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."

Just to make sure:

1) Flash plugin is installed in /usr/lib/flash-plugin:

$ rpm -qil flash-plugin

2) I have added /usr/lib/flash-plugin in the list of directories for
konqueror to search for plugins.

3) Clicking on "Scan for Plugins" does not show / list the flash
plugin in the "Plugins" tab.

Any ideas ?
