Do you know how to build an interface with Glade and use it with 
Python/PyGTK? If so, this shouldn't be hard at all.
Create your interface with Glade, including the drawing area. Then in 
your code, replace
         self.videowidget = gtk.DrawingArea()
from the below example, to:
         self.videowidget = builder.get_object('drawingarea') # where 
builder is your gtk.Builder instance and 'drawingarea' is the name of 
your drawingarea in Glade

Now you use self.videowidget the same as in the example, especially that 
last method is important:
             win_id = self.videowidget.window.xid
             # ...
             imagesink.set_xwindow_id(win_id)

Cheers,
Timo
