The following two lines of code should safely sort any gtkmozembed python program when running with xul-runner. It should not be necessary to modify any environment variables such as MOZILLA_HOME_FIVE, MOZILLA_HOME, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH - although obviously it the example path only works for the indicated version of xul-runner:

if os.path.exists('/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9'):
 gtkmozembed.set_comp_path('/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9')

That should be all that is necessary, and it should still be safe to execute on legacy systems.

I run it immediately after importing the gtkmozembed module, prior to displaying the main window.

And just FYI, I've never ran into problems with multi-threaded gtkmozembed components when displaying Flash.
