do you have lesstif instaled? lesstif is need in order for netscape plugins to 
work with konqueror.
Also, test the flash plugin by going directly to www.macromedia.com, it as to 
work if the plugin is ok. (runs fine here). Also there was a bug in kde 3.0.1 
that broke the netscape plugins with konqueror.. it was fixed in 3.0.2, don't 
know about 3.0.3.

best regards...
