I believe the plugin-scanner is supposed to add the new file associations when finding a new plugin.. Changing the file association actually works, you just need to add Netscape Plugin Viewer to application/x-shockwave. The reason the plugin crashed my konqueror turned out to be a wrongfully setup artsd. I had accidently turned on full duplex, and that broke arts completly and apparently nsplugin which then crashed konqueror. I wonder if more gracefull errorhandling is even possible.
