I my debian 4.0 virtual machine your code works fine.  So you are 
probably using a distribution that does not set the proper path 
variables.  Basically the problem is that some mozilla libraries that 
are needed cannot be found by the application.  To run the app it needs 
to be started with the path variables set.  I usually use a bash script 
that sets the proper path and then have it execute the python script 
instead of just running the python script.

I know on Ubuntu Gutsy I have always needed to create a bash script like 
this:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox
export LD_MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox
python your_gtkmozembed_application.py


and on Ubuntu Feisty, Edgy, and Dapper I have always created a bash 
script like this:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox
python your_gtkmozembed_application.py


I am not sure of what is needed on other Linux distributions, but it is 
probably something similar.  I hope this helps.
