[Solved]KDE 4.6.3/firefox 4.0.1 flashplayer crashes exiting full...

Just updated to KDE 4.6.3 today, soon thereafter I went to southparkstudios.com using firefox 4.0.1 to watch an episode. The flash video played fine but when I go to leave the video's full screen mode it crashes X and drops me at the kdm screen. I tried it repeatedly and with two different kernels, the vanilla 2.6.38.5-1 and 2.6.38.5-1-lqx, with the same exact results.
I also have an Xfce 4.8.1 setup on another set of partitions (same kernels) with exactly the same browser with exactly the same add-ons and plugins and no probs whatsoever so it looks like its related to kde somehow.
I have a bunch of these in ~/.xsession-errors too.

plasma-desktop(1598)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) 
plasma-desktop(1598)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0)

Couldn't really find much else as it crashes silently. Just that the xserver was terminated unexpectedly
Anyway, I know these little issues do pop up with flash from time to time. And I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing similar issues and/or aware of any work-arounds.

arch, 2.6.38.5-1-ARCH and 2.6.38.5-1-lqx
kde 4.6.3 and xfce 4.8.1
firefox 4.0.1
flashplugin 10.2 r159
core,extra and community repos only

Update - switching to flashplugin-beta 10.3r181 from the AUR solves the issue for me and seems to work quite well so far. And  I didn't mention, 32 bit architecture here.
