        <pre>PluginProcessProxy::scanPlugin spawns a WebKitPluginProcess and parses its stdout to populate a RawPluginMetaData object. It leads to very bad results if plugins print anything. For example, the name field for the GNOME Shell browser plugin gets set to &quot;(WebKitPluginProcess:26462): GnomeShellBrowserPlugin-DEBUG: plugin loaded&quot; because it prints a debug statement. The mimeDescription field gets set to &quot;this plugin provides integration with gnome shell for live extension enabling and disabling. it can be used only by extensions.gnome.org&quot; rather than a list of MIME types. This is too fragile.</pre>
