Bug#631431: "Missing plugin"

[Chanoch (Ken) Bloom]

On my configuration, mozplugger uses xpdf to display PDF files and has
no problems with "missing plugin" when using PDF files. The magic
formula in /etc/mozpluggerrc.d/62-documents.conf is:

  repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill needs_xembed: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"

So you may be able to work around this problem by installing xpdf and
moving that recipe to the top of the list for PDF documents.

But I do have problems with displaying the various kinds of office
documents in mozplugger. I haven't determined whether it's trying to
use the OO() rule, the kword rule, or the AbiWord rule for this, but I
definitely get a "Mising plugin" when trying to view Word and Excel
documents.
