Benjamin, 

1) I'm unclear of the impacts of removing gtkmozembed.  Can you please clarify which APIs and functionality will be impacted?  For example, will XRE_InitEmbedding go away with these near-term changes?

2) I too rebuild mozilla for a special xulrunner application that plays nicely with legacy gtk+/wx applications to provide an embedded browser.  However, I utilize a wrapper for my access - wxWebConnect which is supported by Kirix:

http://www.kirix.com/labs/wxwebconnect.html

Will the changes you identify here impact that project and the apis/utilities they use?

3) What is the timeframe for these changes?

Thanks,
Susan
