73139 - Change wallet UI posing for embedding override

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Peter Trudelle]

Need to change how Wallet UI is invoked so it can be overridden by embedding 
clients.  Some details below, more at URL above; danm will be happy to help and 
answer questions.

UI Posed by Gecko (Up Calls)
============================
These are calls to window.open, in one form or another, which are relevant to 
embedding. They're split into calls and callers, where a call is considered to 
be a base-level call to window.open which should be API-ized like we're 
discussing, and a caller is something which currently uses window.open but 
should use one of these new APIs when they're created.

I've tried to categorize these sensibly... Each category implies a UI-posing 
component with methods for each item marked "CALL" in that category. Items 
marked "CALLER" in a given category may imply a new method in that component 
(eg. the print dialog stuff), or may just be a caller of some other extant 
method in a different component (eg. the uri loader opening a new window).

Wallet
------
(Most of the window.open calls in danm's "in" list are navigator-specific except 
this one)

Apologies for all the bug spam. For the detailed overview of this task, see
danm's document:

See my first cut at a component-wise categorization:

And if you want to laugh, see also my brainless incomplete IDL for these components:

Form manager will not be used initially in embedding.  So this need not be done 
right away.  Moving milestone out to 1.2

dveditz is the new module owner, reassigning.

Wallet is depreciated, and I don't thing this applies to the current satchel / pwmgr implementation.
