On amd64 I have konqueror-4.2.3, nplugins-4.2.3, adobe-flash-10.0.22.87 with
USE="32bit multilib" (I have a 32 bit Firefox for a Java based vpn - not
relevant to flash), and no nspluginwrapper. It all JustWorks(tm) out the box,
and I don't need to fiddle with embedded mplayer stuff either. I used to have
constant crashes in konqueror with flash which one day just went away after I
rebuilt all of KDE with USE="-prefix". IIRC it was an upgrade from 4.2.2 as
well. WHat console output do you get if you launch the browser from the
command line and view flash?
Here's my settings:
