Bug Description

With that combination of packages from breezy
(konqueror-nsplugins/konqueror+nvidia-glx-legacy+flashplayer-mozilla), konqueror is displaying grey frames
instead of flash movies. Not a configuration problem cause I have it working in another machine.

This is shown when running from konsole:

luzbel@cthulhu:~$ konqueror

Forgot to mention that flash is working in Konqueror with the free driver (nv).

I did some more research on the bug and I can confirm it's ubuntu konqueror/konqueror-nsplugins related, since I've
tested in Debian sid with a custom kernel and binaries from nvidia (which wasn't working in ubuntu either) and it is in
Debian.

I repeat just in case you don't undestand my English, it works in Debian with the same configuration it didn't in ubuntu,
so I guess problems are in konqueror/konqueror-nsplugins packages from ubuntu.

Grey frames will be displayed also in Debian sid in case Composite is not commented in xorg.conf:

Section "Extensions"
# Option "Composite" "Enable"
                Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection

However, they did display in Ubuntu with changing nv to nvidia, with no additional options.

Sorry if I'm giving useless info but I'm trying to provide as much as I can.

As far as I know the free "nv" driver doesn't support Composite, so it's normal it would work with them. Disabling Composite on your Ubuntu machine should work; you can also follow the instructions given in a related bug: Bug #35942
