Thanks again.  Here's what I can reproduce.

totem-mozilla installed
-----------------------
The video widget is shown as a black rectangle with controls on the
bottom.  One can toggle between play and pause and make it full
screen.  I don't actually see any video.  totem and gstreamer spew all
sorts of debugging nonsense to the current terminal.

totem-mozilla removed, mozplugger removed
-----------------------------------------
There is a nicely themed grey rectangle (it blends with the heading),
with the text:

	NASA TV requires Windows Media, Real Player, or Quicktime
	plug-ins to play in your preferred player.  Please check
	"Other Viewing Options" on this page or [download necessary
	plugins].

where that last phrase is a link.

totem installed, mozplugger installed, totem-mozilla removed
------------------------------------------------------------
There is a nicely themed grey rectangle and a lighter grey rectangle
in the middle with rounded corners saying "Missing Plug-in".  The
terminal says:

	[30988:30988:370973467410:ERROR:webkit/glue/plugins/webplugin_delegate_impl_gtk.cc(129)] Not implemented reached in bool WebPluginDelegateImpl::WindowedCreatePlugin() windowed plugin but without xembed. See http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=38229

totem removed, mozplugger installed
-----------------------------------
There is an ugly light grey rectangle for the viewing area and
black text in the middle: "Missing Plug-in".  No rounded rectangle.
The terminal says:

	[31502:31502:371194227769:ERROR:base/native_library_linux.cc(28)] dlopen failed when trying to open default_plugin: default_plugin: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Yagh.
