Yeah, we need to do something that works on every platform.

This is a really novel approach that I hadn't thought of before, and
certainly sounds easier to support across platforms.

How about a function openHiddenBrowserWindow() that opens an invisible
or hidden browser window?  This would solve the "ugly first window"
problem you mention, but on platforms where we have little control
over the web browser it would still work as intended; you'd just see
the initial window flash first.

Awesome!  The easiest place to get started is writing widgets.
Charlie's the architect for the widget set; perhaps you could talk to
him about which widgets need help?  We also need another theme (XWT
supports themes, but currently we've only written one!)
