I have applied the patches attached with the two bugs you mentioned
above, and using them I am able to open a web page having the simple
windowless plugin (that I had attached earlier) in
WebKit2/MiniBrowser. Thanks again for the pointer...!

However, I still don't understand why the same plugin is not showing
in WebKit1 based GtkLauncher.
