Hi Christian,

I've deleted the pluginreg.dat file and now the MathML mime type shows
up in the list!

OK, I've set the MIME type attribute to application/mathml+xml, the same
that is listed in the .server file

does this mean that I won't be able to load resources from my harddisk?
I've just tried and mozilla says:

"Couldn't load viewer for content of type "text/plain".

A test container application is able to use my bonobo component, so I
assume the problem is not there. Do I have to list text/plain in the
.server file as well? Do I have to register the .mml suffix somewhere in
order for it to be associated with my component? [I noticed from
mozilla-bonobo-viewer.c that the only string that is used to instantiate
the proper control is the filename.] 
Did I miss anything else? Sorry if these questions sound silly, I'm
still a bit confused about all this bonobo stuff ;-)

the mozilla-bonobo plugin is indeed pretty cool. I'd like to see the
MathML plugin up and running so that I'd be able to make some comparison
with mozilla's native MathML support.

Thanks for any help you can give,
