I think both are excellent ideas! There are times when I want to see an 
animated GIF again (I have set animations to play once).

There is an option for this already in konqueror.. Go to Tools -> HTML 
Settings -> Plugins. If there is a tick mark before Plugins, then they are 
enabled.. you can disable them forever and enable only when you want.

This is a great idea I think. The plugin area would be blank if plugins are 
disabled.. and when the user clicks either in teh area or on a play button, 
the plugin will be loaded. That will be cool.
