If I were to have SDL support this, would I do the following:

1. In SDL_Init(), set the PID property
2. In SDL_SetVideoMode(), which maps a window, set the LAUNCH_ID
property

SDL is Simple DirectMedia Layer: http://www.libsdl.org/

SDL uses two windows to easily manage windowed/fullscreen transitions,
but only one window is used for keyboard and mouse input.  Should I set
the properties on both windows?  Does anybody have some sample code with
the proper sequence of calls?

See ya!
