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.
