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 luigi
