[Bug 159912] x86-64 Konqueror won't load a 32-bit flash netscape plugin.

[Rob Landley]

Public bug reported:

I visited dailyshow.com and it told me to to install the flash plugin.
Clicking "ok" didn't install anything, but instead opened a tab with
Adobe's website asking me if i wanted to download a tarball or an RPM.
After a bit of googling, I did "aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree"
which seemed to work fine, except Konqueror still had no plugin.  Exited
and restarted Konqueror: no difference.  Went in to the Konqueror
config, told it to scan for plugins, no difference.

Went back to the Adobe website, downloaded the tarball, their install
script said x86-64 isn't supported, copied the .so file into
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins, told Konqueror to scan for plugins again,
still nothing.  Rooted around a bit and added /usr/lib/flashplugin-
nonfree to the directories Konqueror was to scan for plugins: still
nothing.

Tried to go into "file associations" to see if there was any way to
point Konqueror at a specific so file and say "wrap nspluginviewer
around this plugin to handle this mime type", but although I can select
nspluginviewer the edit button never lights up to configure it with a
specific .so to use.

I've run out of places to hit it with a rock.  Help?
