so you are saying that from a menu item creating a gtkmozembed doesn't work?
after calling gtk_main(); it should work - I think what art meant here is that
you can't call functions after gtk_main(); as in code
ala
do stuff
gtk_main();
create embed here - ofcourse it'll fail.
However, You should be able to initlize embed from a menu item or a button or
any callback hooked to your gui once the gtk_main() loop is in effect.
Try gtk_moz_embed_push_startup(); before calling a gtk_moz_ebmed_new(); see if
that helps.
