           Summary: [GTK] PluginPackage should check whether a plugin
                    mixes GTK+ 2 and 3 symbols itself
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: gns at gnome.org


Currently we have code in GtkLauncher and Epiphany to disable Flash. But flash is not the only plugin using GTK+ 2 symbols, and users may actually be using something like nspluginwrapper that shields the main browser process from the plugin. The opposite situation will eventually happen as well: WebKitGTK+ built with GTK+ 2 will encounter plugins using GTK+ 3. So we should be smarter and only disable plugins when we detect they use symbols from a different GTK+ version on them.
