Re: venkman and stdout

Oops, I didn't test that suggestion, and I've been away from Venkman for 
long enough that I forgot some of the finer points :)  Sorry about that.

 From xpcshell, you could do something like...

   ctrid = "@mozilla.org/js/jsd/debugger-service;1";
   ifc = Components.interfaces.jsdIDebuggerService;
   jsds =  Components.classes[ctrid].getService(ifc);

   jsds.on();
   jsds.interruptHook = { onExecute: dumpframe };

Again, I havn't tested this, but it should be enough of a clue to get 
you started.  For more "documentation" on the debugger component, see
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/jsd/idl/jsdIDebuggerService.idl.
