Actually, that's a bug in my opinion.  Even though swfdec is a GNOME
project, and GNOME is notorious for applying configuration changes
immediately, this goes too far.  The plugin area is not a configuration
dialog.  It's a player.  Users don't expect their actions to be
remembered.

I think everybody agrees that the current implementation is wrong.  We
shouldn't be trying to preserve a wrong behavior.

I think your previous patch was better.
