Google Gadgets for Linux (in short GGL) currently can use Gecko or QtWebKit as the HTML rendering engine and SpiderMonkey or QtScript as the JavaScript engine. Supporting other HTML and JavaScript engine would be easy.
And GGL provides a shared library which makes it very easy to embed gadgets into third party GUI applications. For example, one of our recent work is to integrate GGL into KDE/Plasma, so that users can run google gadgets inside Plasma. Feel free to try out GGL and read the source code. We appreciate your feedback.
