 I didn't use JS, but as far as I can tell, everything that's available in
 JS that could tell me a height is also available in the GObject bindings.
 Feel free to give it a try though.

 Sorry, I initially thought that plugin didn't come with Pidgin.

 Things like the webview in the debug window are not actually visible
 outside of their source files.
