Now I see this WebRT is the webapprt-stub binary that is inside the
app bundles that firefox marketplace installs.

I downloaded firefox 20 beta, started it, went to the marketplace, and
installed some apps.  They are then available in gnome-shell.  Behind
the scenes they install a .desktop file in
~/.local/share/applications/ and the bundle at ~/.http* .The profile
folder is there, together with the webapprt-stub, webapp.json,
webapp.ini, profiles.ini and icon.png.
