Security manager

Hello!

I've recently been playing with XUL and gecko, and have hit a small stumbling block, namely understanding the security manager. I've been unable to find documentation on this, anyone care to point me in the right direction? I've hit "Security manager vetoed action" exception a few times from privileged code, when trying to override native methods/properties. Perhaps that's just not possible? I wanted to call __defineSetter__('href',..) on window.location but couldn't delete the property first as required. Then separately attempting to delete browser.contentWindow.open raises the exception, although in this case you can override it but that doesn't appear to do anything...

Thanks,
Tony Morgan
