Description

This is an internal support routine of the X code in Bonobo.

Together with BonoboSocket, BonoboPlug provides the ability to embed widgets from one process into another process in a fashion that is transparent to the user. One process creates a BonoboSocket widget and, passes the XID of that widgets window to the other process, which then creates a BonoboPlug window with that XID. Any widgets contained in the BonoboPlug then will appear inside the first applications window.

This code is a modified copy of GtkPlug, it is included in bonobo since this forked version could be effectively bug fixed, and integrated with the BonoboControl / BonoboControlframe CORBA pipe, to ensure synchronization between the X and CORBA transports.
