Description:

Adobe ships with (at least) 2 files for kde integration :

usr/lib/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so
usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_adobe_flash_player.desktop

However, those files are not included in flashplugin from [extra]. I guess the maintainer
either did not noticed those files or wanted to keep flashplugin desktop independent.

My suggestion is to put those kde stuff into a separate package, such as `kcm-flashplugin` .


Additional info:
* flashplugin 10.3.181.14-1
This task depends upon

i don't want to include them in package.

since ioni isn't neutral I suggest you to create a package in AUR to add the missing files. Also, I don't understand what they do.

In previous version, if user want to control the way flashplugin works , he/she needs to load a flash in the browser and
right click on it , then choose 'global settings' in the context menu . That would redirect the user onto one page on macromedia.com, where he/she can setup security, privacy, cache, camera, etc.

In this version, if kde integration is available, user can control those things directly in systemsettings without opening browser and flash. That module will also be invoked when user choose 'global settings' as before. If kde integration is not available, user will be redirected as before.

I personally feel more convenient in controlling flashplugin when kde integration is available.

i only included flash player properties flashplugin-10.3.181.14-2. feel free to upload a flashplugin-kde or whatever the name you prefer in aur.

the reason for not including this is that for x86_64 systems the extension for kde system is i686 and it won't work and i prefer to have our packages from extra and multilib in sync
