I guess the situation of GtkMozEmbed depending on all of Mozilla is where the issue will have to stay. For myself I dont' want *any* Mozilla or Firefox package installed. I don't want any browser anywhere other apps can just find it and start using it. I hate apps that just willy-nilly go to town in a browser. What I am going to to is download Firefox source and compile it *TWICE*. Once with --enable-static --disable-shared set and once without. Neither app will be "installed" - both will be in "private" locations. The former will be my standalone browser and the latter will be the libs for GtkMozEmbed using LD_LIBRARY_PATH so the apps can find it. I still have to figure out how to make this work but I'll be able to have the best of all worlds and only apps I want to know Mozilla exists will know about it.
