I was implying always Xembed'ding when host and plugin are
both X11 based, with the ugliness all tucked away in the
library.  But it seems I can infer then that one of the
design choices of libsuil is to allow trusting plugins
into the address space party.

I wonder how long it will take until there's a cry for
a way to force plugins to be loaded out-of-process .  ;-)

Thanks for the explanations.
