XEmbed patches - again.

XEmbed patches - again.

[David Soulayrol]

Hello.

Timo Savola wrote some patches for Emacs in order to bring the
capability to embed the Emacs GTK frame into another one, using GTK
sockets [1]. RMS asked him to wait for the 22 release, so he did, and
then he started a new thread on this list last summer [2].

Timo used these patches to wrap Emacs with some tools like a file
browser I believe. The PIDA project [3] - whose motto is to reuse all
the fine components for an IDE around - needs these patches too to embed
the Emacs frame.

Since the last thread about these patches seems to have ended in last
july, I would like to know if they could make their way in trunk soon,
or where they are blocked today.

Thanks all for your work.

Waiting for the unicode-2 merger with HEAD.

I hope these get installed soon.  Have people already studied the
code?

I have looked at it, looks OK.  The only reason I haven't checked it in is
because someone (Handa?) asked people to hold back large changes to the C code
before the merge.

I think that's a very good idea...

Do you mean, before the unicode-2 merge?

If there are lots of conflicting changes, waiting seems wise.
Otherwise you might as well install now.

Yes.

It is hard to tell.  Anyway, Miles thought it was wise to hold it, so I'll do 
that.

Now checked in.
There is no documentation.  We should at least have docs on --parent-id and
what it does.

Please at least add an item to NEWS so that we don't forget!
