[Qt-interest] Getting Flash to work in QtWebKit - something more than QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled ?

David,
Thanks a lot for pointing me to those docs. I was able to get it working by
running our app with this set:

QTWEBKIT_PLUGIN_PATH=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/

But according to those docs /Library/Internet
Plug-Ins/ is supposed to be a standard plugin search path on OS X. Is
this a bug or is there some way I've inadvertently overwritten the
plugin path? I can't imagine where that's happening.

Thanks,
Brian
