The WebGadget doesn't work. No gadget is created on the window, allthough the WebGadget() function returns some high number. WebGadgetPath() returns 1. I have tried to specify the path of libgtkembedmoz.so in the seamonkey directory and in the xulrunner directory, with and without the respecive directories as the second parameters.
For a sample code, see the manual.

Did you correctly set the component path? (second argument of WebGadgetPath)
if this is incorrect, the gadget cannot render any data.

How do I know if it's "correctly" set? I tried to leave it blank and to set it to the directory where the libgtkblahblah.so file was. I did not move the .so file from where it was installed. (/usr/lib/seamonkey and /usr/lib/xulrunner).

That is the problem. The underlying function returns no value, so it cannot be checked.
You need to set the path to the directory where mozilla, or firefox is installed.
"/usr/lib/firefox" works well for me.

/usr/lib/seamonkey IS where mozilla is installed (except that they call it seamonkey).

Edit: /usr/lib/firefox doesn't work either.

I am sorry, i can give you no other useful information.
The documentation on the gtkmozembed.so really sucks.

Basically the first parameter of WebGadgetPath() is just used to load the .so file,
while the second one is passed to the gtk_moz_embed_set_comp_path() function.
(see here: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/gtk-embedding.html)
As you can see, not really a lot of helpful information there.

Well, this is all i know. If anyone else has some clues on this it would help.

OpenLibrary() does not work either.

Then there is something wrong with your file.

So basically:
Zenwalk's Firefox 2,
Zenwalk's Seamonkey,
Zenwalks's xulrunner,
Ubuntu's Firefox 1 and
Ubuntu's Mozilla browser
all ships with a broken libgtkembedmoz.so?

Both epiphany and galeon usees Firefox' libgtkembedmoz.so file and both of works fine.
