Of course.
embedding another Gtk widget into a Gtk window is a
LOT easier
than embedding an X window ID, and in fact is the whole reason why
libsuil exists.
I was implying always Xembed'ding when host and plugin are
both X11 based, with the ugliness all tucked away in the
library. But it seems I can infer then that one of the
design choices of libsuil is to allow trusting plugins
into the address space party.
I wonder how long it will take until there's a cry for
a way to force plugins to be loaded out-of-process . ;-)
Thanks for the explanations.
