QX11EmbedWidget and QX11EmbedContainer
qt, qx11embedcontainer
Solution
The first example work because xterm is able to reparent its top level widget (an X11 window). You tell it to do so with the argument `-into <WinId>`.
I don't know if Konsole can do that, i don't use it and the man page doesn't seem to talk about this.
But that doesn't mean it is not doable, the X Window system is very flexible and anyone can reparent another window (that's how windows managers add decorations to windows).
Take a look at `man 3 XReparentWindow` ;-)
Problem
Can one place an arbitrary program (firefox, openoffice, etc...) in a QX11EmbedContainer? The fllowing seems, to work ``` int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QX11EmbedContainer container; container.show(); QProcess * process = new QProcess(&container); QString executable("xterm"); QStringList arguments; arguments << "-into"; arguments << QString::number(container.winId()); process->start(executable, arguments); int status = app.exec(); process->close(); return status; } ``` but the next snippet launches a new window, not what I want ``` int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QX11EmbedContainer container; container.show(); QProcess * process = new QProcess(&container); QString executable("konsole"); process->start(executable); int status = app.exec(); process->close(); return status; } ```
