Got it working  :-)  Thanks to a post on the kubuntu forums.
You need to edit your xorg.conf file:
<code>
kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
</code>

Then add at the very bottom of the file:
<code>

Section "Extensions"
     Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

</code>

You need to hit 'Return' after to create a new line.
Save the file and restart X.
Flash will now work as it should!

Blessings,

Nigel
