since nobody responded, i just tried it and wrote a section on flash6 for 
konqueror and mozilla and a small one about plugger.
could you please have a look a the diff and give me some feedback? i have no 
prior experience with docbook stuff...

and i've got a question. i've frequently used <filename role="package"> 
xxx/yyy</filename> - sometimes the link the respective pkg_descr works, 
sometimes it does not. why?

best regards
