           Summary: Flash mimetype association is ignored
           Product: kwebkitpart
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: webkit-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: chris.kcat at gmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The embedding options set for application/x-shockwave-flash, as set in System
Settings->Advanced->File Associations, are ignored when using the WebKit kpart
with Konqueror. When a page is rendered using WebKit, flash applets are run
directly in the page, instead of being embedded using kmplayer/knpplayer or
nspluginviewer. When the view mode is switched to KHTML, the flash applet
properly loads with the selected kmplayer kpart.

This makes it very problematic to use WebKit on sites that have flash content,
as the flash plugin freezing or crashing will take the whole browser with it
instead of just knpplayer or nspluginviewer.

Oddly enough, the Plugins section of Konqueror's configuration does have an
effect.. unchecking the "Enable plugins globally" option prevents the flash
plugin from loading. However, there is no way to get it to embed using the
kpart selected under the File Associations.
