To answer your question though: Technically, this is a shortcoming of Konqueror's netscape plugin compatibility and thus a KDE bug (other browsers trying to be compatible with netscape plugins, like opera, have the same problem). On the other hand, libxpcom is really a mozilla (post Netscape 4.x) invention, thus it might be argued that mplayer-plugin really is a mozilla-plugin and as such, not supported. In any case, there's probably no other workaround than copying the library into the runtime linker path at the moment. You might try filing a bug (or a wish) against Konqueror at http://bugs.kde.org to provide a libxpcom.so compatibility stub as part of netscape plugin support. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
