the least complicated and best working solutions are:
a) to run the linux application in virtual xserver (xvfb), 
  or as windows service
b) move the window off screen

queryinterface nsIWebBrowser to nsIWebBrowserSetip and call
the setProperty method

Speaking in X11 terminology: you need to 'realize' the widget and
not to 'show' it.
But 1a) will solve this problem with less effort ;-)

I think not in general.  AFAIK it will work on linux, but hang on win32.
The reasons is due a bug in jdk initialization.  But last time I tried that 
in age of jdk1.4, so maybe things have changed :-)
In case you will try it now, please let us know the status.
