Something akin to these products: http://desktop.google.com/plugins/ http://widgets.yahoo.com/
or the Microsoft Sidebar in Vista This XulRunner looks interesting, it would probably have a main app (taskbar icon, manage gadgets/widgets) and a seperate XulRunner instance for each plugin (they are typically run as separate processes). Has anyone heard of any gadgets/widget project using Mozilla technology? I have written plugins for all of the above gadget engines and all of them are fairly lacking. They are all based on IE and the Microsoft Scripting Platform and are subject to the difficulties and limitations of most Microsoft technology. What I would give to use FireBug to write gadgets!
