Carroll, I removed all the defaults from Konqueror then clicked on add new and that brought up my /home/tom, double clicked on flash_linux and basically gave Konqueror no other options when I scanned for plugins. BTW, this is Flash 5.0 also, I also copy it to my mozilla plugins. My nine year old son likes to visit a site or two that Flash 4.0 can't seem to deal with.
