But the Linux Journal from October 2003 has a review of a book called 
"Creating Applications with Mozilla", from O'Reilly[1].  Apparently you need 
to be familiar with Javascript, CSS and XML to make much sense of the book. 
Since you were looking for "free-as-in-beer", perhaps the online version 
might help.[2] 

Note that KDE has support for XUL too now, including using the KDevelop IDE.

[0] I like Qt/KDE. Doesn't worry me it won't run on Windows without a Qt 
license.
