I have the same problem in the GWT Development Mode plugin. You could set a
breakpoint in your Java code in Eclipse, and as far as the browser sees the
NPAPI plugin is just hanging until the server lets it continue.
It seems like this might be a feature that a number of plugins would like to
control, yet you want to make sure it isn't abused by malicious plugins.
What about an API call to disable/re-enable it, and control access to that
API with permissions in the manifest?
