in other words, all browsers behave erratically with this pluggin, but only
under Xfce.  On other desktops, the browsers work without problems.

If the browser crashes, it's a bug in the browser or the plugin. You'll
have hard time convincing me the problem lies in xfce (especially because
I do run gxine with mozilla myself)

Does it work if you run just "xine" (ie w/out the plugin)?

I4ve been able to reproduce a crash and get a backtrace, it *reallyù look
like a problem in xine :

Same exact problem with metacity 2.8.0 (from gnome-2.6); it's really not
related to xfce.

Sorry, it's not a bug in xfce as the backtrace shows and BTW I can
reproduce the problem in metacity from gnome 2.6

Possibly a race cond in libxine or in the xine plugin for mozilla, that
could explain why it shows more often under xfce (maybe, I don't know the
root cause, but I'm pretty sure it's not xfce)
