  Well, Luxor is not yet a full-blown browser a la
Mozilla but for now Luxor is a XUL toolkit. Two
browser projects are in the works using the XUL
toolkit, that is, Luxilla and Eldorado but they are
far from being finished.

  Also note that XUL itself is only a building block
and that you also need a scripting language (e.g.
Python, Beanshell, Groovy, etc.) and more to have
truly interactive application (UI).

  You might wonna check out alternative XUL
toolkits/browsers/runtimes/players such as XWT,
Thinlet, Mozilla etc. before starting to build your
own Luxor XUL Toolkit mini-browser. See
http://xul.sourceforge.net for links to alternative
XUL projects.

  If you want to roll your own mini browser using the
Luxor XUL Toolkit you might wonna check out the
Luxilla project or Sahara (aka luxor-sandbox).
