OK, but why not simply return 0? In this case QtWebKit tries built-in support 
for netscape plugins. It makes webkitkde more crashy, but then again even with 
QWebView workaround it crashes whenever it likes.
I know that QWebView is workaround but what is actual bug being worked around? 
Crashing? Not showing movie on youtube? Something else?

Even nspluginviewer crashes with webkitkde :-(
