FWIW, I've never experienced any konq crashes that I could attribute to a flash animation. I do have the plugin registered multiple times. Any idea how to fix that? I couldn't find a bug report listed for that issue. I'm not too familiar with the KDE file association business. Why should adjusting the file associations be unnecessary? I would appreciate it if you could point me to some (technical) KDE documentation that explains how all that works.
