Erm, no.. window decorations etc _are_ dealt with within GTK.. remember the
Gnome desktop is effectively made from GTK+. But you're both right in
saying that the xid isn't portable, and that's the main problem here.
The question is how far the GTK+ devs have gone in resolving such issues
where X11 is not the window manager. They've divided much of the underlying
GDK library into three areas; x11, win32 and linux-fb.
Has anyone looked into ext/ffi at all?
