Most likely you want to do something like this: 1. Create a GtkSocket as part of your application 2. Get the GtkSocket's window ID 3. Pass the window ID to the application you want to embed Gtk and the other application should take care of the rest. A common way to pass the window id is with a flag when you spawn the other program. For example `xterm -into <id>' or `mplayer -wid <id>'. > If someone could provide an example of how this is handled, i'd much > appreciate it. I've attached a small example I wrote a while back that embeds a gVim window inside an GTK+ application. You should be able to substitute any other XEmbed application for gVim. You can just print out the window id and the spawn the other application manually if you want.
