When using mailto: urls the embedded browser TestGtkEmbed hangs.
Trying to display 
"chrome://messenger/content/messengercompose/messengercompose.xul" hangs both in
mozilla stand alone browser and in TestGtkEmbed browser.
The email wizard opens up if this is a newly created profile but after the first
initilization it restarts again if this is the first time or hangs if the
profile mail settings are already set

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open TestGtkEmbed
2.navigate to mailto:[e-mail]
3. -> Hang

Actual Results:  
TestGtkEmbed shows a dialog box of email configuration wizard if this is the
first time.
After the mail prefs are set. TestGtkEmbed hang

navigating to chrome://messenger/content/messengercompose/messengercompose.xul
causes the same effect

Expected Results:  
Open a compose message dialog if email settings are complete. 
Open the email configuration wizard and later the compose message dialog if for
the first time

Shai: only Mozilla drivers are authorized to set (+) blocking flags.  You can
request (?) blocking status.

I've built with --disable-mailnews and I just get the "mailto: is not a
registered protocol" dialog.

If you build with mailnews enabled, you see this.  Looks like you get in some
kind of nasty loop.  Lots of assertions.

This is very old. Still problems with 1.5 or later?

Hi

This problem reproduces on Mozilla 1.5 too. (TestGtkEmbed)

Also as Mozilla 1.4.x stream is the stable version stream and this
is an accute bug, please see if you can fix this issue.

Thanks

This also happens with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031107

Both examples (browser+chrome-URL and mfcEmbed+mailto) results in a loop (as
described in comment 3).

=> NEW

Embedding: GTK Widget isn't a thing, closing.
