All of them, they are just wrappers around the NPNetscapeFuncs. The problem is that the NPN functions we are currently exporting in WebKit2 are the WebCore ones, so even if totem didn't implement those functions, it would end up calling the wrong methods. Only plugins using the NPNetscapeFuncs struct directly currently work in WebKit2.
