OK, well, more precicely, the ones I looked at (FVWM and Gnome-whatsit IIRC)
used window manager hacks.
here is some excerpt from gtksocket.h: from gtk-1.2.x
------------------snip---------------------------
struct _GtkSocketClass
{
GtkContainerClass parent_class;
};
GtkWidget* gtk_socket_new (void);
guint gtk_socket_get_type (void );
void gtk_socket_steal (GtkSocket *socket,
guint32 wid);
------------------snap---------------------------
this is a normal gtkwidget ... call gtk_socket_steal( sock, wid )
and you are done...
if this is a hack i dont see it and dont care.
i will try it out soon...
when i write the jack application component for gAlan...
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.
Not really, as the bitmap will be ~600 pixels wide and is likely to
contain constantly moving meters, I can image that being quite a load.
Xnest seems like a better option really. It just needs somone who
understands X better than me to look at it.
