Hi all.

Now that gtk is working again with directfb, I'm trying to see if it is 
possible to port some application. Since I'm a user of the Xfce desktop 
environement, I had a look at some code and is trying to port some part of this 
one to DirectFB. 
For now, i've been able to make a first port of the xfce4-panel. By the way, I 
also manage to make the libxfcegui4 library compile with DirectFB (this is a 
dependency of the panel). 
To achieve this result, I simply make so that all the code isn't compiled when 
no X server is found. This make some functionnality not being available. (I 
also made some change in the code in order to use some gdk func instead of the 
corresponding one's of the Xlib).
Now that I've got a first working version, I would like to port the code I 
didn't use, but I have a little problem. In lixfcegui4, lots of the work is 
related to set properties to windows (for managing things like a system tray 
for example). The problem is that they often use the XGetWindowProperty func, 
and I don't see any function with the same functionnality in DirectFB. I've 
also looked at GDK, and there is the gdk_property_get function, but in the doc 
they recommend to use native function instead. So my question is what is the 
best? Is there a native DirectFB func for that and if yes wouldn't be better to 
use this one? Or is better to use the gdk_property_get function from GDK for 
now?
