I just discovered something pretty strange on my 64 bit machine: the flash
package includes both 32 and 64 bit versions, but the symlink for the plugin
points to the 32 bit version.  I have 32 bit support built in my kernel, so
I never noticed it.  Do you have 32 bit support?

Sorry, my eyes are playing tricks today.  The symlink I mentioned is pointing
from /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/, not /usr/lib64.

I think you must have something on the machine that's still linked to qt3
and it needs to be reinstalled.  I would just rename/move the qt3 library
and let revdep-rebuild  reinstall whatever it is.

I still have QT3/KDE3 installed because I still use some KDE3 applications. 
Removing it is currently not convenient. I have other problems now...

Sigh.

I feel your pain.  I didn't mean to uninstall qt3, just rename it so you
can run a flash application in konqueror to see who complains about the
missing qt3.  But, maybe after you fix the other problems...

Does flash work in other browsers? 64-bit or 32-bit?

What package does nspluginviewer belong to on your system? I think it
should be using Qt4 if it's the KDE4 version. Mine is from
kde-base/nsplugins-4.3.2 and is located in /usr/bin/nspluginviewer

Perhaps Flash is the one using Qt3... I'm not skilled at reading backtraces.

Do you have adobe-flash emerged with the "64bit" USE flag enabled?

Yes, adobe-flash is emerged with "64bit -32bit multilib" and works fine with 
firefox. 

# equery b /usr/bin/nspluginviewer
* Searching for /usr/bin/nspluginviewer ...
kde-base/nsplugins-4.3.2 (/usr/bin/nspluginviewer)

Looking at the back-trace makes me think there is something wrong with the gtk 
theme engine, but it works fine with other gtk apps.

I was right, x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt 0.8 and 1.1 where installed at the same 
time. This seems to be allowed because 1.1 (KDE4) is slotted. I unmerged 0.8 
and everything started working. :)
