Shrirang, looks like a dup of what we have with this default plugin not going 
away after clicking OK.
Reporter, would you please describe the exact sequence of events?

here is a more exact sequence for reproduction.
1. open browser in window maker
2. go to a page that requires a plugin (i.e. Mozillazine)
3. when it asks if you would like to download and install the plugin (java in
this case, but it happens with all plugins) click ok
4. when the plugin screen pops up, click on the appropriate plugin
5. one of 2 things will occur...
      a. you wont be able to click on anything in any mozilla window
      b. if/when you can click on the appropriate plugin, nothing happens and
          mozilla crashes (i know nothin is happening cause i have my ppp
      monitor up and it shows no activity)
