Thanks, George. Have been working very long today. So I didn't have the time 
to do it myself.

The changes to qxembed were minimal and are in CVS since weeks. The main 
change was to make kjava use qxembed instead of javaembed. And this works 
pretty well. I'm glad that also the nspluginviewer uses qxembed now. I'm also 
glad that George is working now on the nspluginviewer which, what is my 
impression, was lying around untouched for a long time. There is still a lot 
of work to do to make it really work smoothly: the java plugin does not yet 
load and the real video plugin may bring the plugin viewer into an endless 
loop when called more than once.

We should however look indeed at the communication between qxembed, kwin (or 
any other windowmanager) and the embedded window. Somewhere between these 
three players must be still a race condition.

My patch will fix the problem for flashes, but, as I said, when posting it to 
the list, I think more that it is a workaround than a real fix.

Some expert Xlib knowlege would be really great here. I started to make the 
java thing work and I never really wanted to dive so deep into this X crap.

I thought noone would ever have to do this again, since we have this wonderful 
KDE and qt now ;)

regards, till
