It was accusatory this was my response which started off the rants

So this bug gets closed because it only affects galeon with no
investigation?

genuine question

1. It does not affect "random plugins" - it affects all plugins
2. It does not happen on gnome-2.0.2/gtk-2.0.6 - only 2.1+

clarifying the situation

So this means that bug wont be fixed?

question again

(BTW - I very raely use plugins myself - but if this is not fixed
galeon2 will be unusable in gnome-2.2)

How is this wrong
