Re: Fwd: Python and XUL: Luxor XUL Python Example Suite

Hi Gerald,

I think one of the main problem for newbies is the
ChromeLoader. It is very important to get a Classpath
resource Loader up and running. Such a classpath pour
look in all the current classpath for possible xul
files and load them accordingly. It would make thing
much simpler ! 

I'll try to get one running in the few next days.
