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 (npviewer.bin:19968): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_insert_internal: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed [000:183] Read port file, port=44481 [000:184] Initiated connection to GoogleTalkPlugin [000:215] Socket connection established [000:215] ScheduleOnlineCheck: Online check in 5000ms [000:427] Got cookie response, socket is authorized [000:427] AUTHORIZED; socket handshake complete [005:223] HandleOnlineCheck: Starting check [005:223] HandleOnlineCheck: OK; current state: 3 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.
