Clicking on the URL http://vnuuk.typepad.com/silicon_valley_sleuth/ on a Fedora
Core 2 machine (Linux) make the "Install Missing Plugins" button appear.  When
clicking on the button, we get in the dialog the message "No suitable plugins
were found", but it does not mention what it was looking for.  It would be nice
if the name of the plugin that could not be found be shown.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Click http://vnuuk.typepad.com/silicon_valley_sleuth/
2.  Click button <Install Missing Plugins>
3.  Check dialog message for name of missing plugin.  It does not appear anywhere.

Actual Results:  
No plugin name showing.

It can't show the name of the plugin because the plugin finder knows no plugin
which handles this mime-type.

But it could show the File-Type/Mime-Type..
chaning summary and mark it as enhancement
(In this case it's *.avi/[video/x-msvideo]
