I haven't heard anyone mention it.
All I can say is that the Firefox extension fails to load in Conkeror.
I would have to imagine that it should be fairly easy to get it working
in Conkeror, though, as it seems to have a purpose that is mostly
unrelated to the Firefox UI.
I did find one hit that described getting gears to work with xulrunner
apps, but it was windows specific and had a bunch of registry setting
adjustments and things like that, which also makes it seem possible
(but I don't really know the internals yet.
I checked out the page you mentioned and all they really do is modify
the extension's install.rdf to list webrunner as a supported
application. I had thought this wasn't necessary when xulrunner's
extension compatibility checking was disabled, but after listing
Conkeror in Gears' install.rdf, the extension loaded without error.
I'd appreciate it if you (or anyone) could give it a test run. (It
loads, but that doesn't necessarily mean it works.) Here is a version of
the extension which should load in Conkeror:
http://servo.cc/gears-linux-opt-conkeror.xpi
To modify the extension yourself:
1. Download the extension.
2. Make a scratch directory and extract the xpi there. (It is a zip file.)
3 Add an entry for Conkeror to install.rdf. (See the patch attached to
this message.)
4. Zip the contents of the scratch directory and name the file
gears-linux-opt-conkeror.xpi.
Hope this helps,
