Hmm... I used to have that config option, but now running
KDE 3.5.6 I
don't seem to, so I lost it somewhere (I have
konq-plugins-3.5.6-r1
merged). I won't run flash as it's not freedomware, but I
did install
gnash, tho I've not had much luck with it.  Konqueror sees
it apparently,
but just blank-pages it on load. I've not tried enough to
see if it's just
that gnash doesn't handle some of them or if it's not
working for me at
all, however.

I /can/ verify that the kmplayer plugin works just fine for
files it
handles, embedding mplayer.

Do note that there's a HTML-settings helper tool that allows
one to turn
on and off plugins/java/scripting/cookies etc temporarily,
for a single
site.  However I got it, I have plugins turned off by
default (the way I
want it so definitely not arguing with it), but can turn
them on with the
HTML-settings tool if desired.  The first few times I tried
sites needing
plugins, I forgot about that setting and thought it was a
problem with
konqueror.  However, toggling plugins on in the
HTML-settings allowed
kmplayer at least to work just fine as a plugin, and gnash
to try to load,
but as I said it didn't work, at least on the files on the
site I was
trying it on.

Hmm, I have kde-base/konq-plugins (as I said) but not
kde-base/nsplugins.
I bet that's the one that includes the plugins settings
dialog!
