Window Screensaver in Wine

I'm working on wrapper(app) which enabled to embed Windows window into
xscreensaver-demo window and in screensaver window.

In last time I have worried about project state. I was starting it three
months ago, but I really programme it since two-three weeks. The most
weight reason is that, I don't know how prevents mouse messages and
keyboard to be received by Windows app. At early state of project I have
noticed, that I can give Window app /P <desktop window id received by
CreateWindowEx hwnd, nor 0> instead of /S, but I guess some Windows
screen saver don't like to show preview.

I don't know, what I could do in this state, so I have decided to show
somebody my code. Is a good think, to public my wrapper on your
site(http://www.winehq.org), but it's not good point to get it inside
the Wine. It's not reason to do that if Wine don't use my app in any
way. Another think is that, my app depend on xlib and xscreensaver, so
it's necesary to run it on Unix like systems(Wine are in the Windows
too).

Somebody are interested in my app? Maybe some user need them and it can
be good place to make some experiments(ex. making Window flash to work
under Linux version of Firefox)? What I should to do?
