Hello,

I'm developing an XUL application that I want to work in all Mozilla deri=
ved
browsers. I'm wondering what is the best way for me to launch the applica=
tion
from Galeon. Currently I can get my application to run from a remote serv=
er in a
regular browser tab typeing in a URL such as:

  http://server.domain.com/app.xul =20

Or in a plain window using a javascript call such as:

  window.open("http://server.domain.com/app.xul", "Super App", "chrome");

If I register the application with Mozilla's chrome directory, I can run =
it in a
standard browser tab by typing in a URL such as:

  chrome://app/content

What I am unabled to do, however, is open the chrome registered version o=
f the
application in a plain window. In Mozilla, this can be accomplished by us=
ing the
commandline:

  mozilla -chrome chrome://app/content

But galeon (on Debian Linux) doesn't seem to support this. It just exits =
without
an error. Ideally, I'd like to add my application to some Galeon menu or =
toolbar
as I might add it to the Mozilla "Window" menu using an XUL overlay. I
understand that the Galeon interface is not written in XUL, but rather in=
 GTK so
this probably isn't going to work.

Is there another way for me to launch my XUL application directly from ga=
leon in
a new, plain window without using a remote server?
