Yes indeed. It's actually composed of 2 parts: the plugin
itself, and an executable (the "viewer"). The plugin launches
the viewer and passes it the XID it got from Mozilla. The
viewer then creates a GtkPlug with that XID, to which the
bonobo component is then added. The plugin and the viewer
communicate through pipes.

P.S.: I'll be visiting a conference next week, and I don't
know if I'll have net access. So I may not be able to respond
to email. In any case, I'll be back on the 1st of November.
