Flash will just not work with opera 9.2X, but it won't freeze. Good news
though, our opera-beta and opera-static-beta have full support for the
new GTK2 based flash-plugin. But let me remind you it's still beta and
it's a little unstable with the plugins since they rewrote the whole
plugin engine for linux/unix. But I expect the comming weekly updates of
opera will be a lot more stable. I use opera-beta as my main browser
atm.

So for the moment I think it will confuse people if we add another
flash-plugin, people should put some pressure on konqueror to get a fix
out for this.
