I guess plugin installation should ideally only happen once for every
gnash installation, so probably few will want to configure this.
What's the preferred way to add a dialog window here? Should I just call
gtk directly, or are there some internal libraries I should call?

Hi!
Following up on Nutchanon Wetchasit's comments to support issue
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?109027,
I tested replacing the gtk plugin installation calls in
llibmedia/gst/GstUtil.cpp with the async variant.
Background:
When some plugin is lacking, gtk-gnash may call gtk libraries to
install the relevant plugins.
The current behaviour is to use a blocking call, which leaves gnash
frozen until the call returns. (I had an experience with the gtk
plugin installer freezing.)
Using the async call is encouraged by the gtk manual:

The only downside, is that if you are playing a movie, you probably
would prefer the movie to stop until your plugin is installed.
Would it make sense to add a GnashRC directive to let the user
tweak the behavior ? Or could the user be notified of need to
reload the movie in order to be able to see it after the plugin
is installed ?
