You need to use the same display as the target window.

       window = Gtk2::Gdk::Window->foreign_new_for_display ($display,  
$anid)

           * $display (Gtk2::Gdk::Display)
           * $anid (Gtk2::Gdk::NativeWindow)

           Since: gtk+ 2.2

That said, i'm not really sure how to get that.
