Except it actually should have PDFPlugin in it. But only application plugins.

I don’t think Page::mainFrame can be null.

Ditto.

This patch seems to have caused a huge regression in the time it takes to create WebViews in GTK, according to my bisection (> 3 seconds when the java plugin is present - eek). It's now scanning all plugins when a new WebView is created, I guess it might be related to the changes to Settings::setPluginsEnabled, but haven't investigated in detail yet.

Hmm, we should make it only-refresh-if-you-already-have-cached-data.
