[gentoo-user] Konqueror crashes with latest flash

When I go to http://www.speedtest.net the flash content does not show (just a 
white frame in its place) and if I close konqueror I get a "signal 11 
sigserv".  This is what the terminal shows:

$ konqueror 
ASSERT: "!icon.isEmpty()" in konq_pixmapprovider.cc (81)
ASSERT: "!icon.isEmpty()" in konq_pixmapprovider.cc (81)
ASSERT: "!icon.isEmpty()" in konq_pixmapprovider.cc (81)

(process:8363): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_get_for_display: assertion 
`display != NULL' failed
Adobe Flash Player: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed. Trying 
to call gtk_init(0,0);
KCrash: Application 'nspluginviewer' crashing...
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode:  25
  Minor opcode:  0
  Resource id:  0x2600006

Rebuilding flash, nspluginviewer and konqueror has not fixed this, neither has 
revdep-rebuild.  Any ideas?

After upgrading to netscape-flash-9.0.115.0, I had similar problems, 
although I did not start konqueror on the command line to see the error 
messages. I got a segmentation fault on nearly every page with flash, 
althogh the browser itself did not crash most of the times.

The forum has also some threads about it, with problems also with firefox or 
opera. The bug is reported as #204980.

I downgraded back to 9.0.48.0-r1, and all is fine. Except for the big 
security problems this involves... One suggestion I read about is to use 
kmplayer for flash, but I'm too lazy to do so.

Thanks for letting me know - good to know it's not something borked just with 
my setup.

Same here, I had to downgrade to 9.0.48.0-r1 to get flash working in 
konqueror. Firefox also OK with this version

9.0.115.0 always worked fine for me in firefox though.
