After a good night's sleep I realised today that by default, GtkPlug appears to create a top level window 
(i.e. with a border, title bar, minimize button etc).  I strongly suspect that this is why it doesn't get 
embedded in the host window.

Is there a way to make GtkPlug generate a child window, without any decorations?  I guess this relates to my 
earlier question about modifying the window's style.
