Well, I've been using a patch that commented out the
if (!excludedMimeType(mimeType))
check, and it's worked "fine" since 4.4.1 (with the problem you've described,
that links in flash content don't work). However, since updating to 4.4.4, it
doesn't work so well anymore.

With Adobe's flash plugin installed, Konqueror/WebKit will always try to use it
over the association and regardless of the "Enable plugins globally" option,
and regardless of the detected plugins (ie. even if there's nothing listed in
the Plugins tab, it'll still load up the .so). This is compounded by the
problem that the plugin will *always* crash in a gdk call.

Oddly, if I uninstall Adobe's flash plugin, it'll fall back to using the proper
association again. If I then reinstall the plugin, it'll continue using the
proper association until the browser restarts, when it'll try to use the plugin
directly (again, regardless of whether plugins are enabled or if it's been
detected).
