Hi,
recently we have started a small project to write a wrapper
to run generic X applications within a firefox window:
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/app-wrapper.html
To some degree, it is similar to the existing 'www/mozplugger'
(we were not aware of its existence when we started),
http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/
So if someone is curious and wants to try one or both...
Note, our code is at a very initial stage, though it is very
simple so i don't expect it will be hard to fix any bugs.
As for mozplugger (i.e. the pre-existing application that does
a similar thing), i have to say that it has some nice features
that I am really envious about :)
e.g. it can swallow generic X windows within the browser, which
is interesting because some apps do not have an option to
run in an externally-supplied window.
cheers
