GoogleTalk plugin creeps into QtWebKit desktop app

• Component: Plug-ins
• Status: RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED

I using Spyder with PySide and I notice the following info in debug log:

[000:097] Browser XEmbed support present: 1
[000:097] Browser toolkit is Gtk2.
[000:097] Using Gtk2 toolkit

[000:427] AUTHORIZED; socket handshake complete
[005:223] HandleOnlineCheck: Starting check

What the heck GoogleTalkPlugin does in my Python IDE? Spyder clearly doesn't have this feature integration and it may be not that bad, but I want some control over what is possible in desktop application context.

Support for plugins was removed in https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/265753/webkit. Also, Google Talk is long gone.
