You should look at the gtk_mozbox widget that we use. It's an excellent
place to start. Also, have a look at the GtkPlug source code. The
GtkPlug is designed to be plugged into foreign toolkits.
What you have to do to get it working is:
Create a new gtk mainloop instance with gtk_init, etc.
Create a mozbox-like or gtkplug-like widget to plug in as the child of
your Xt widget
Create mozilla as the child of your gtk-plug-like widget.
It should work. All you have to worry about is getting focus right.
You might also want to have a look at this bug for some patches that
need to be checked in to clean up the mozbox code and other focus code.
