Hi,

I wrote two small patches to get Pipelight working again with Chromium. The first patch enables loading of NPAPI plugins when using Aura and second one adds some minimal code to make Chromium think that drawing still works. The second patch does not include the necessary Xembed code which would be necessary to actually show the window inside the browser, but will pass an invalid window handle (0) to the plugin. Pipelight versions >= 0.2.6 will automatically detect the invalid handle and disable embedding so that the plugin will be shown in an extra window. It is not perfect, but should be usable for most plugins like Silverlight.

The patches were written against Chromium 35, but I assume that they should also apply for Chromium 34. If there is interest in using the patches and they do not apply, I can try to fix this problem.
