The downside I can see with that is enterprise systems, which most of those XEmbed apps target - they do not have support for that 21st century tech (like systems running KDE3 or GNOME2), so I can see a reason why apps keeping with XEmbed. But, you need to draw the line somewhere. If the user fallout is too big, I think it would be good to reconsider then (hello Skype and Dropbox). Cheers -- Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer
