The patch was used in a browser plugin that uses PowerPoint Viewer (97/2003/2007) and WINE to display PowerPoint slideshows. While developing the plugin, I've found that PowerPoint Viewer always playback slides inside a window that covers the whole desktop. Hence the idea was born to embed the desktop inside a native X11 window.
I thought this patch might be useful to others with similar requirements, namely, to embed full-screen win32 applications inside a native X11 window. Regards, Timothy Lee
