DESCRIPTION:  There are cases where animated images cause repeated reflows after
a page has loaded.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
 * in a Linux build without the java plugin installed, load
http://www.intellicast.com/LocalWeather/World/UnitedStates/Northeast/Massachusetts/Boston/Radar/
(I'm not sure if the null plugin behaves the same way on other platforms)

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 * watch the plugin dialog pop up repeatedly (bug 57455), each time triggered by
an additional reflow of the ObjectFrame (I think that's what happened... I tried
debugging this a bit a few weeks ago)

EXPECTED RESULTS:
 * shouldn't see plugin dialog pop up repeatedly, because we shouldn't see
constant reflows (although this would also be fixed by bug 57455 being fixed)

DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON:
 * Linux, mozilla, my optimized build, 2000-11-20 and for many weeks beforehand
Bug 54153 might be related.

David, could you retest now that bug 69534 got fixed (it was about unnecessary
reflows for animated gifs)?

Reassigning to David to get this off from Peter's list, we have done what we can.
