But transparent plugin is also windowless. Of course it can cause some performance overhead for blending, but there are a lot of places with blending in webkit, so I don't think it's real problem.
As I understand, there are 2 options when plugin can get into windowed mode:
1. when wmode is not specified, than plugin use it's own default (windowed for current implementations of flash plugins).
2. wmode=window when page wants plugin to play in the topmost layer above other elements.

My patch fixes only transparent wmode for flash plugin, but leaves it windowless even if page specifies wmode=window.
