Thank you very much for this patch.  This is a really useful feature.

Unfortunately, it does not apply to development branch (master), where 
xwindow code has been replaced with clutter/gstreamer/...

I would love to integrate a patch for that feature, however before that 
the patch should be done on current master, and moreover Damien is 
working on a branch ds-gtk-application which perhaps changes even 
further the code involved.

So I would sadly say that, if you want to implement such a feature, you 
should wait a bit until Damien merges his branch to master, and create a 
patch afterwards based on master.

(Damien, if you have another idea, please discuss.)
