Of course.
embedding another Gtk widget into a Gtk window is

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.
Not really. As you say, all the ugliness is tucked away. The magic black
box library can do out of process if it wants.
