[Bug 66573] nspluginviewer hangs up whole X server

[Timothy Miller]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konqueror

This web page causes all sorts of havoc with Konqueror:

Right-clicking on one of the embedded flash viewers hangs up the X
server.  First, a context menu appears, but it's inoperable.  Then
nspluginviewer eats 100% of the CPU.  Something has grabbed the X
server, because although I can alt-f1 my way to a console, all mouse
input in X11 is ignored.  After killing nspluginviewer, I managed to get
X11 unstuck by pressing alt-tab.

Naturally, we should suspect the flash plugin as being the culprit, but
the same web page works just fine in Firefox (and they're using the same
exact plugin).

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
