I am using Debian (etch). I have seen the debian-kde thread,
but since I
have compiled KDE myself from KDE sources, I'm not at all
sure that the
distribution has anything to do with the problem - hence
posting the
message here. I tried using the Debian installer for flash,
and then tried
simply installing it manually. Both gave the same result as
far as
Konqueror is concerned. Neither installed the plugin into
any iceweasel
directory (although the Debian installer created links in
/usr/lib/iceweasel
(or something similar, I can't remember exactly), but the
files were
elsewhere. I made sure that the plugin search paths included
the flash
installation directory, and the search for plugins found the
new flash files.

Very strange all these flash issues. I have
flashplugin-nonfree installed for 
ages, it upgraded the plugin to the 9 beta at some time and
at the last time 
to 9 release, but it always kept working. Currently
Konqueror 3.5.5, Debian 
SID.

Since you've compiled from source, can you check if you have
the equivalent of 
package konqueror-nsplugins installed?

Cheers,
Kevin
