We currently have a gtk2 based plugin process mainly for flash (which is very sad) and a few other plugins that use gtk2, but many other plugins don't even use gtk at all. We could build a lighter plugin process based on GTK3, used by default for all the plugins expect the ones requiring GTK2. And of course the default plugin process will support GTK3 plugins.
