New description:

 WebKitGTK+ settings [1] "enable-plugins" and "enable-java-applet" have
 default value TRUE, so plugins should work out of the box.

 UPDATE: the following is false, see [comment:4 comment 4] below.

 However, a simple test (attached) shows that this is not the case at least
 for the Python bindings.  Plugins do not work by default, and setting
 "enable-plugins" to False makes Flash work.  So this may be a bug in
 pygobject, inverting the booleans.
