  30         It is possible to pass null for both parentNativeWindow and parentWidget,
  31         but only docshells support this.
  32
  33         @param parentNativeWindow - This allows a system to pass in the parenting
  34                 window as a native reference rather than relying on the calling
  35                 application to have created the parent window as an nsIWidget.  This
  36                 value will be ignored (should be nullptr) if an nsIWidget is passed in to
  37                 the parentWidget parameter.
  38
  39         @param parentWidget - This allows a system to pass in the parenting widget.
  40                 This allows some objects to optimize themselves and rely on the view
  41                 system for event flow rather than creating numerous native windows.  If
  42                 one of these is not available, nullptr should be passed.
  43
  44         @param x - This is the x co-ordinate relative to the parent to place the
  45                 window.
  46
  47         @param y - This is the y co-ordinate relative to the parent to place the
  48                 window.
  49
  50         @param cx - This is the width   for the window to be.
  51
  52         @param cy - This is the height for the window to be.
  53
  54         @return NS_OK - Window Init succeeded without a problem.

  56                                   initWindow() had already been called.

  58                                         or a parentWidget may return invalid arg when they do not
