> Tried to replace the X11 API with GDK calls. If you need true DFB support this will not work. (X11 != GDK, but X11 == DFB) As per "https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference/Drawing_and_Event_Handling"; the "void * window" should be directly mapped to DFB surface or sub-surface. Then it would work great for even Window-ed and window-less plugins. More over all browser plugins today are written for X11 / Win32 / Mac and not for GTK / QT / WxWindows / Skia So going the DFB way is the right step forward.. and you can hope to get your code inside Webkit some day. > But it fails when there is conversion from GtkXtBin to GtkSocket No GTK if you want true DFB support.
