FWIW, I've worked with OSX and xulrunner quite a bit.

Under 1.2.x, I only had success under xulrunner 1.8.0.4.  However, I've 
been running an EG 1.4.0.4 client under xulrunner 1.9.0.11, quite happily.

After installing Xulrunner, from a Windows client, I copy the "build" 
directory (e.g. C:\Windows\Program Files\Evergreen Staff Client\build\ ) 
to the desktop.  You'll need to change the last line of the 
application.ini to allow for the newer Xul version.  Something like:
MaxVersion=1.99

Then execute the command listed under Option 2 in the link below 
(renaming or replacing the directory name used (e.g. 
Evergreen_Staff_Client vs. build ).
 
...I hope that makes sense
