Package: konqueror-nsplugins
Version: 4:3.5.7-4
Followup-For: Bug #443600
Hi,
This bug still bites hard. While it is true that Adobe
is ultimately to blame (as it is their code which uses
GTK without initializing it), nspluginviewer could initialize
GTK for their library, and allow debian/konqueror users
to view flash content (at the time of this posting, the
last entry on bug #440165 is from a user asking how to
work around it).
<wildguess gtk-knowledge="rumours">
It is even arguable that initializing an environment (like gtk)
is something only an app (like nspluginviewer) should do,
and not a library (like flash) -- even though I've seen it
argued that multiple GTK initialization is harmless.
</wildguess>
The Adobe bug does not seem to be insurmountable; iceweasel
manages to run flash successfully (that is, it bumps into
bugs other than this one).
Additionally, unless it is the flash library itself which
enters an infinite loop with this bug, nspluginviewer taking
100% CPU is undesired behavior; and whether or not nspluginviewer
could behave better, konqueror (a separate process) hanging
seems like a worthy bug.
Hope this helps,
Shai.
