It's actually a Mozilla thing. The Mozilla apps are usually individually hacked so often you can't run one piece of XUL code on another Gecko engine. i.e. Nvu won't work if you run it as chrome in Thunderbird.
There's work on this and it should land for Firefox 2.0 or Firefox 1.5, and it's called XULRunner.

Is anyone investigating making the common code into a mozilla-core package?I'd really like a way to cut down the time spent building these apps.dcm-- Microsoft is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems.
