As in summary. The simple app not being present means it's harder for starting
app developers to get going - having the simple app as a base greatly improves
the learning curve, and should be a trivial thing to fix.

Reproducible: Always

What I intend to do actually is create a demo-pack that can be downloaded
alongside xulrunner.  I want to keep the xulrunner download minimal so that
people who only need the runtime don't have to download the other stuff.  Then,
we can go and flesh out the demo-pack to include a variety of interesting examples.

That sounds like a great idea. Changing summary to reflect comment 1.

The beginnings of the XUL Developer Kit?

Yes :-)

So, year later, what's the status on this? I think it's still a very good idea, so I'm curious if anything has been done about it. :-)

XULRunner has been removed from the Mozilla tree: see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/_rFMunG2Bgw for context.

I am closing all the bugs currently in the XULRunner bugzilla component, in preparation for moving this component to the graveyard. If this bug is still valid in a XULRunner-less world, it will need to be moved to a different bugzilla component to be reopened.
