Youtube videos are not displayed for me on the Youtube site. All I get is a gray box. However, the videos are displayed correctly if the video is embedded on another site. Other Flash content is displayed properly.

This problem appeared once before but it got resolved somehow... How, I don't know. But recently it has reappeared. I am using rekonq and Arora both built from GIT and Webkit built from the nightly packages. This problem exists also in the stable packages of both browsers. Firefox 3, Firefox 4, Chrome, Chromium and Opera all display Youtube correctly. I am running Arch Linux with KDE 4.6 Beta 2.

The first time this issue appeared I recorded a screencast to demonstrate the bug in the rekonq mailing list. Here it is:

I can't reproduce with QtWebKit 2.2/Qt 4.8.
