Did you try symlinking nsplugin.so to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins ? this is
usually what I end up doing to make it work. I forget if 64bit flash was
fixed or not, if it wasn't you may need nswrapper or the like to run the
32bit plugin binaries.

Thanks Chris, and also to George Liaskos and Alex Goncharov for your help. The symlink doesn't work, but oddly it's working perfectly in Konqueror now. All I had to do was scan for plugins. It's not ideal because I'd rather do without KDE entirely (not because I don't like it, just because this machine isn't whizzy enough for it) but takes the urgency out of it a bit.

Thanks again.

Ben
