nsIRemoteService in Firefox 1.5

Implemented by

@mozilla.org/toolkit/remote-service;1

 Start and stop the remote service (xremote/phremote), and register
 windows with the service for backwards compatibility with old xremote
 clients.

 @status FLUID This interface is not frozen and is not intended for embedders
               who want a frozen API. If you are an embedder and need this
               functionality, contact Benjamin Smedberg about the possibility
               of freezing the functionality you need.

Methods

 Register a XUL window with the xremote service. The window will be
 configured to accept incoming remote requests. If this method is called
 before startup(), the registration will happen once startup() is called.

void registerWindow(in nsIDOMWindow aWindow)

 Stop the remote service from accepting additional requests.

void shutdown()

 Start the remote service. This should not be done until app startup
 appears to have been successful.
