Indeed. AbiWord is an example of application which does that (probably
Mozilla too?). AbiWord started being developed on Linux and Windows only,
but I was able to compile it on Solaris with just two minor tweaks of
Makefile, although the developers (at the time) didn't try to compile it
on that platform. Things should just work and there's nothing to be afraid of.
