Again I want to shamelessly promote my project:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsXembed
I havent worked on it lately, but this thread is starting to make me
want to prove that its possible to embed a browser.
The thing that actually stopped me from demoing browser embedding,
rather that video etc, is that I didnt find a browser which supported
being embedded with xembed. It shouldnt be a big problem, though, to
modify a gnome based browser to use a xembeddable widget as main
window.
My primary aim for embedding isnt actually browsers: its for embedding
stuff like Inkscape, multimedia apps, and make music guis for csound and
supercollider etc, so thats why I havent done anything more for browser
support.
