I've overcome my problems I think by reading the docs. Please have a look 
at my code here for the firefox okular plugin:

http://github.com/jeremysanders/okularplugin

Comments are welcome!

There's one big hack in the code which is to set the active window on 
mouse enter events. This is required otherwise the plugin loses keyboard 
events if firefox opens new windows.

The plugin should also work with opera.

Thanks

Jeremy
