Finally, I found the cause of the problem that a page containing an embedded 
real video (displayed with nspluginviewer) cannot be be reloaded or a 
subsequent page also containing a realvideo is not correctly displayed.

The problem:
The current page is not unloaded before the new one is loaded.
The real plugin is somewhat global. When a new instance is created and during 
the creation another one is destroyed, it hangs.

Is there a way to get a closeURL() in a part before a new openURL() and not 
afterwards ?

you can try it out here: 
http://www.n-tv.de/3079196.html
click on the images on the right to change the video in the left frame.
If konqi hangs, just do a
killall nspluginviewer
in the konsole

do not try it with 'real one' alpha for linux, it just crashes - also in 
netscape/mozilla.
Real developers should use valgrind ;-)
