Okay, some feedback. It took a while, sorry, seems we're all over-busy
at the moment :-(

- I don't get video with the embedded XV windows. I didn't browse the
  code that much, lack of time. I'm sure when I look closer, I'll find
  it.
- The "separate" XV windows and fullscreen works. Great! And it seems
  more performant than GDK.

You see, I wasn't able to look very much into the code, but I proofed
that it works. Thanks for it, and if you find the time, don't stop
developing on it ;-) For the decorations, I read something about asking
the WM or getting WM hints (I read it in another context, so I didn't
take care that much). It looked like a common way.

PS: Yes, I'll find the time for the code. From what I have seen so far,
nothing critial, mostly I-had-too-less-coffee-bugs, we all make
them ;-)
