[Gnash-dev] [Enhancement] Move "start in paused mode" to a plugin (to enable white-listing and easier configuration)

[Bram Neijt]

I like the "Start gnash in paused mode" option, because I was a
fanatical user of the FlashBlock[1] plugin. It saves a lot of memory and
simply cleans-up pages because you get less commercials shacking and
blinking for your attention.

Currently, Flashblock does not properly work with Gnash. On the other
hand, Gnash does not support white-listing, blacklisting and removal of
flash parts in a page.

I think it might help Gnash if the pause option was removed and instead
a development team/person was looked for to do browser plugins or
Flashblock support instead.

My 2 cents and greetings,
  Bram
