Re: gtk embedding.

A bug has risen from the embedding code I send earlier.  The code works
fine under the fvwm2 window manager but not under Gnome.  It appears
that Gnome is more picky with GTK.  This result in any embedding command
destroying the VPythong window instead of embedding it.  

Basically, to embed a GTK window into another one, you need to have a
pair of Gtk::Plug and Gtk::Socket.  The child process (VPython in this
case) creates a plug and exposes the plug ID.  The programme that
will embed VPython uses this plug ID as a parameter to its Gtk::Socket
and thus can embed the plug. 

So, would it be possible to have a gtk::Plug() object within main_gui()
and a method that would return the Plug ID?  Ideally, this would be
wrapped within a Python call so that I could do something akin to:

    display.get_selected() 
    plug_id = display.get_gtk_plug_id()

Would it be okay if this became a feature request?
