I'm currently adding the ability for boxes to support overflow: scroll, auto. If
you wish a xul file to show scrollbars you will have to specify overflow for the
window tag. So when I finished this fix for boxes this should work as well.

You can now make make a xul document have scrollbars by setting overflow: auto
on the window tag. For example:

<window style="overflow: auto"  ...
