Just trying to pin down the dependencies:
1. conkeror needs xulrunner 1.9
2. xulrunner 1.8 bundled with debian etch; 1.9 not available in the repos
3. xulrunner1.9 incompatible with gtk
4. etch comes with gtk2.8; xulrunner1.9 needs gtk2.10

Upgrading gtk in isolation is unwise/impossible. Better to upgrade the
whole OS (I dont have the bandwidth right now)

Just wondering if an intermediate solution is possible -- compile from
source xulrunner1.9 to run with gtk2.8.

Any inputs on this??

Thanks

Rustom
