Still present in
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021114

If 'prompt("text1", "text2");' is entered as a command in the
javascript-console, it works fine! It does not work, if 
'javascrip:prompt("text1", "text2");' ist entered as a url in TestGtkEmbed.
It also does not work, if 'javascrip:prompt("text1", "text2");' is a
part of a HTML-document.

If also works if a chrome ist loaded in TestGtkEmbed
(eg. chrome://navigator/component/navigator.xul) and
'javascript:prompt("text1", "text2");' is entered afterwards in
the URL-Filed of TestGtkEmbed.

Is this an initialisation problem?

I can confirm this for gtkmozembed from 1.02, 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.3a, 1.3, and 1.4 RC1
and RC2 (basically, it hasn't worked since 1.0).  Is any progress being made on
this?

The bug is still there - with the exact same sequence to reproduce it -
in our product built on top of Mozilla 1.7.8 distribution.

our application uses gtk and not gtk2. 
embedding framework is different in gtk vs. gtk2.

switching to gtk2 is not a feasible option for us.
