 But Flash is used only in nspluginviewer, isn't it? So nspluginviewer can 
simply keep using RTLD_LOCAL, as the Netscape plugins are really unstrusted 
source in this case, and there's also no need to use RTLD_GLOBAL in this 
specific case.
 Or can one develop a Flash viewing application/KPart/whatever with their lib? 
In which case one could try having fun, or e.g. go for XParts.
