XEmbed protocol ( X Window System)

XEmbed is a protocol that uses basic X mechanisms such as client messages and reparenting windows to provide embedding of a control from one application into another application. Some of the goals of the XEmbed design are:

  • Support for out-of process controls, written in any toolkit or even plain Xlib.

  • Support for in-process-controls when mixing different toolkits in one process.

  • Smooth integration of the embedding application and embedded client in areas such as input device handling and visual feedback.

  • Easy implementation. A full implementation supporting all details correctly may require minor toolkit modifications, but it should be possible to get basic functionality going in less than 1000 lines of code.
