Sure, I'm on this list.

I have to say this problem makes me headaches since some time. Locally 
I worked around this by explicitely linking the gtk peer library to 
the plugin. Then you dont need LD_PRELOAD but its a hack anyway.

Mozilla seems to change the search paths in two "places" (at least on 
Debian here it is this way): first in the script "mozilla" and then 
in "mozilla-bin" again. Someone with the Mozilla sources should 
really dig into this.

BTW: you should use version 0.0.2 of the plugin, it contains a vital 
fix.
