Hi,

I'm trying to get started with Xulrunner on Mac OS X and I'm running into
some problems.

1) Deployment. By which I mean creating an OS X app. I've found several
webpages with instructions, none of which work. I can create the bundle
in-place, but the "xulrunner-bin --install-app" step fails with "Error:
couldn't parse application.ini". Furthermore, the instructions I've found
omit crucial details - e.g., they go from "create the application structure"
to "run xulrunner-bin --install-app myapp.zip" without bothering to explain
where the *zip is supposed to come from.

2) widgets - a simple tree widget fails to display properly unless I add
explicit width and height. Without that, the only thing that appears is a
scrollbar.

I'm willing to write up documentation if somebody who knows how the stuff is
supposed to work can help me figure out how to make it go.

Thanks,

Gregg
