I am trying to embed the Mozilla web browser in a Motif application.
As Mozilla is currently based solely on GTK, I must be able to embed
a GTK widget in an Xt widget (and no, porting the Motif application
to GTK is not an option). Qt has a widget (qxt), which enables
embedding Qt widgets in Xt and vice versa, but I have not found
anything similar for GTK.
I know a fair amount about Xt and Motif (I have constructed several
Motif widgets), but I am not too familiar with GTK.
I have been looking at GtkPlug, GtkXtBin, the EventBox container,
and a few other widgets, but none of them allows me to supply my
own X window.
I have built an Xt container that
o Calls gtk_init().
o Translates X events into GTK events and calls gtk_main_do_event()
(and gtk_main_iteration_do() just to be sure).
o Calls gtk_main_interation_do() whenever there is data on the
socket for gdk_display.
This was, by it self, not enough to show any GTK widgets. I believe
that the problem was that the widgets could not recognize the parent
window.
I have tried two different ways of solving this, but neither worked.
1. I created a GDK window and used gtk_widget_set_parent_window().
2. I created an EventBox container, added and realized the widget.
Is there any way that I can get GTK to accept an X window which has
not been created by GTK?
Have I made other mistakes?
