I just did. It "mostly" works - When the gui first comes up you see some flickering, the background gray shows through, then the black render window pops over it and then the gray shows through once again. - If I start interacting in the render window, the black render window shows through again. - If the window loses focus, the grey backdrop is once again painted over the rendered data. - when I quit, the program crashes (that is, the python binary) during shutdown. If I do SetRenderWindow(None) on the renderer before quitting, I can avoid the crash (seems that the render window is destroyed twice during shutdown, once when the physical window goes away, and again when the renderer is destroyed). I'm no windows gui expert or gtk+ expert, but I'll probably try to bang my head against this anyway. If anyone has helpful pointers, they would be appreciated. Btw.. why not expose the "xid" and "hwnd" variables under the same name if their values are used in nearly interchangeable ways?
