Hey, Konqueror should work with nspluginwrapper, since it will search all of Mozilla's and Firefox's plugin directories for plugins. Using nspluginwrapper, I have Flash 7 working with Konqueror under a relatively recent 6.2-STABLE. However, some Flash based sites don't work correctly, such as Toyota's site. For the most part, though, it works fine.
