The last time I checked, the kpart plugin was using klash for embedding and
IMHO it could very well embed gnash as does the ns plugin.
If the ns plugin still uses embedding, then we only need a common protocol
like dbus or stdout/stdin for communication (like suggested earlier).
That will save you from maintaining a separate version.
Debian for instance already has gnash in its repository, so a kde
plugin can be a simple kpart embedding gnash.
