If 'xulrunner-bin --install-app'

None that I know; that's why I didn't include that patch to start
with. Indeed, I don't know quite what relation if any our Info.plist,
patched or unpatched, has with the generated Info.plist; it *seems* to
be neither ignored completely, nor faithfully followed. I think this
will require some investigation of xulrunner's code to resolve.
I conjecture that running conkeror from the checkout directory in the
OS-independent, "standard" way on OS X (using the distributed shell
script, rather than using the generated conkeror.app) *might* benefit
from a patched git Info.plist, but I have no data on that yet. That's
why I say it may be necessary (but is definitely not sufficient) to
patch git Info.plist.
Hope that's clear. My Mac is at your disposal for further investigation.
Two tasks arising from this, then:
- Find out wtf xulrunner is doing with Info.plist files when it runs --
install-app
- Find out whether patching our Info.plist makes any difference to
remoting with 'open' after launching Conkeror on OS X using the
standard shell script from a git checkout (rather than the app that
xulrunner generates in /Applications).
I'll get around to these slowly; if anyone else is keen, please don't
wait for me.
