This is the issue, of course, and not XUL; Galeon uses XUL to display
widgets in the content window, because that's what gecko uses, and
Mozilla uses GTK to draw XUL on most Unixy platforms. (This message
neglects the overhead of XUL drawing, of course.)

pisces:~$ ldd /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin | grep g[dt].*
