> I am curious about the Konqueror bug. There are two bugs, the other one is that it's about screen links to nonfree plugins that it supports. The one you describe technically isn't a Konqueror bug, it's in KHTML in kdelibs (I don't know if this message occurs in other programs using KHTML).

It's nearly the same, it might need some understanding of what the code does. If I have fixed them in Parabola (I don't remember who did it), I had no previous experience with KDE code (and I don't know C++ nor Qt well). > What might be the > correct suggestion for Konqueror to make instead of suggesting Flash? > Should it suggest Gnash or Lightspark? (My money is on Gnash, but only > because I love it.) It suggest the plugin suggested by the site (maybe some suggest free plugins), I don't consider it a useful feature, so in Parabola it doesn't suggest any plugin. (On many sites this isn't used, JavaScript or the object tag handles it.)
