I confirm the problem.

Maybe its priority should be promoted to high....
Many eclipse freeze seem to come from that (so easy to solve) problem.

Xulrunner 1.9 registers itself in /etc/gre.d and needs no registration as far as I know.

Still an issue with Xulrunner 1.9 too?
Comment by Mathieu Clabaut (mathieu.clabaut) - Wednesday, 09 July 2008, 13:12 GMT
I think so.
I do not understand how xulrunner can registered itself without being launched ?
The only app I use using xulrunner, is eclipse for its SWT browser widget (as far as I know). But eclipse try to launch an OS registered xulrunner.
So without xulrunner being explicitly registered, it won't be called, and then it won't register itself...

Am I wrong ?

What should xulrunner register then? There's no other distribution that launches xulrunner during build or postinstall, at least not with xulrunner 1.9, which has its runtime registration in /etc/gre.d. Firefox works fine without launching the xulrunner binary first, so this is not an issue with xulrunner 1.9.
