Hi Ivan,
I'd suggest taking a look at the "hulahop" code that the OLPC (One
Laptop Per Child) are using for running and controlling the Gecko engine
with Python (it's a git repository). The "tree/webview.py" looks similar
to what your trying to do here.
http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/hulahop;a=tree
Note: there are also ready made Ubuntu packages for the hulahop module
already, so you could use synaptic/apt-get to install it.
Cheers,
Todd
