Sad to say that over the past few months rekonq has become progressively
more buggy and slower... I now use Chromium instead but I just compiled
rekonq from git and I can say that on Arch 64-bit with KDE 4.6 from unstable
the following do not work.

- Flash. When I stopped using rekonq only Flash on YouTube was broken... Now
it seems it does not work at all... not even the about page.
- GMail fails to load... though new Twitter seems to work.

It was really nice to have a good KDE browser, but in this state there are
too many deal breakers. I hope rekonq becomes usable again soon.
