nspluginviewer can't initialize any kind of environment that a plugin might or 
might not use. remember that this is plugins. If a plugin needs something 
special, then that something needs to do it.

It is the flashplugins that does it.

either the bug could be fixud at it roots (=in adobe) or worked around 
where "special things" are needed (=gtk).

(And firefox and other gtk browsers works because they *tada* are gtk 
browsers - making konqueror a gtk browser isn't a choice we want to take)

Do you know how might I do for uninstalling a desktop?

You neither can cancel a icon, nor should reset the periferic to the 
terminale, so that from MacOS 92 or from the tools inside Word you should 
never connect a ISA printer to cancel the space bar to a LCD folder over the 
laser 3D space bar.
