You can eliminate it entirely - see other embedding apps like MFCEmbed 
or GTKEmbed. You may even be able to do this with a skin in SeaMonkey, 
but I am not sure. That woudl be cool - an 'invisible' skin - just a 
location bar and a couple of navigation buttons. See also the K-meleon 
project (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/) since you seem to be 
interested in Windows only.

Yes, you can create a plugin that hosts the application you want to 
embed into the middle of the browser window. Then, you create a page 
that has an <OBJECT> that contains that plugin, and the params to the 
plugin will tell it what app to load, what document etc.  If you are 
interested embedding a WORD or OUTLOOK app, they may have Active-X 
interfaces you can use and we already have an Active-X plugin in the 
tree somewhere, so most of the work might be done for you already.
