There are good news about this, it's finally happening. XULRunner 1.8
works pretty well (I actually made some experimental rpms). Yelp,
epiphany and the other gtkmozembed applications should run just fine
with it.

I think running firefox on the top of xulrunner requires 1.9 though
(which will be released 2007 Q1).
