Comment 8 for bug 278388

Alright, while waiting for feedback on my question above, I have another patch to replace the first. It includes usage of gconf now. This is my first try implementing something with gconf, so if there is a "better " way to do something i'm doing, please tell me.

Mike:I tired an approach similar to what you said. It uses a value in gconf. If there is none there, it fetches it like I wrote before. But I also added in fallback. If the file url is found to not be a flash file, it will also refetch the url so updates to the player will not been seen by the applet user, while not querying the website for a new value each time it starts.
