Kevin,

that's exactly what i had in mind... I still can't figure, why  
Christophe-Marie would want to do this.
I only skimmed the xembed docs, but they sound enthusiastic about  
being able to embed nearly any applications output into nearly any  
other app, so i thought this might be possible.

Peter Marquardt
