The first approach which we are considering is by using a pygtk based root-level window to embed hulahop.webview widget in quite a similar fashion as it has been done in Sugar currently. Do you think it would be a feasible approach? Is there any other approach which you suggest would be better? Kindly give some pointers on the issue.

This is the approach that I would recommend. Please keep us posted!

Tomeu
