please keep in mind that for win32 plugin support (VST, DX etc), we
need to be able to reparent the HWND provided to the plugin for its
"editor". don't know if this has any relevance to this
discussion. right now, we fetch the __wine_x11_whole_window atom using
GetProp, and then use that in a call to XReparentWindow.
