I had a play at working at something to do this in the summer. (Since the
PAINT_FORCED_AFTER_ONLOAD wasn't supported on Firefox 2 on OS X)

It works by dumping the gecko canvas from the DOM to a png which is then
loaded by the YWMS plugin.

There is a patch for the plugin (which is far from working perfect)
And a .xpi for Firefox (works for me on ff2 but you have to click a button
to get the file to dump)

I was going to have a look at tidying all this up sometime but havn't had
time lately so here it is just now if anyone has suggestions.
