the X id would come from the Gtk::Gdk::Window contained within the
Gtk::Widget, available as $gdkwindow = $gtkwidget->window.

   $xid = $gtkwidget->window->XWINDOW;



you are getting the id?  you may be able to do something like

   $new_parent = Gtk::Window->new_foreign ($xid_of_parent);

   $gtkwidget->reparent ($new_parent);



in Gtk 2.x (gtk2-perl-xs), it's easier to use the Gtk2::Plug and Gtk2::Socket.
