tell app its windowname and swallow that...
if app wnats to open another window then it has to tell
the host app via IPC of its new window ID and then the host will

gnome-toolbar can swallow every app... kde toolbar too...
so host could be written with qt or gtk dont know about
fltk, wx etc...
Yes, but hat is done with a window manger hack, normal X apps can't do
that.
Are you sure this is the case? There are numerous applications that support
swallowing. Some of them are quite small.
Right now I can't think of one though, I'll do some checking.
We talked about this some years ago I remember doing some checking back then,
the ones that I have seen are derived from WindowMakers dockapps.
These apps export small bitmaps as windows, I think the approach is valid for
us to.
