Towards that, conkeror wanted some 'more latest' xulrunner than came with etch which wanted a 'more latest' libgtk (dont obviously remember the version numbers and am not on a linux box right now). I got this libgtk from a non-standard repo which involved fudging the sources.list. Ironically I gave up on conkeror because I needed foxmarks and other such firefox plugins and I will have have to downgrade the libgtk if I want consistency of versions Dependency hell its called I think :-)
