Its a bug in the latest 4.4.4 bundle of qtwebkit, apparently gtk_init() is not 
called before loading flash, this will be fixed in qtwebkit2

Not, this effects konqueror as well if you use the webkit viewer.

There's a patch on the rekonq mailing list that works around it and I imagine 
that will make its way into rekonq trunk fairly rapidly.
