The Flash Player 10.1 plugin crashes when called from any QtWebkit-based application (e.g., Quassel IRC). This is because the plugin wrongly assumes that the host application has already initialized glib - which is not necessarily the case for non-GTK applications. See the upstream bug (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40567) for details. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up a QtWebkit-based application such as Quassel IRC. 2. Load a webpage that contains Flash objects (in Quassel: hover over a YouTube URL pasted in some random channel). 3. See your application go down in flames. Actual Results: The Flash plugin makes the process crash. Expected Results: No segfault.
