+      XEmbed is a protocol that uses basic X mechanisms such as client
+      messages and reparenting windows to provide embedding of a
+      control from one application into another application. Some
+      of the goals of the XEmbed design are:

+	</para>
+      </listitem>
+    </orderedlist>
+    <para>
+      Goal 1 is the most urgent one. A embedding specification allows
+      developers to write applets for whatever desktop the user is
+      using in whatever toolkit they prefer. Goal 2 is more of
+      something to keep in mind than a immediate requirement. While
+      there are other ways to mix two or more toolkits, using XEmbed
+      might be the easiest and thus most comfortable way. Goal 3
+      describes the targeted level of integration. The users should
+      not necessarily notice that they work with embedded controls;
+      devices like the keyboard and the mouse should work as expected,
+      inactive windows should look like they are inactive, and so
+      forth. The level of integration may, however, be limited by goal
+      4. In order for the protocol to be successful, it's crucial to
+      get implementations for the most important toolkits. Thus, the
+      implementation should not require too much coding and no or only
+      few modifications to the toolkit's kernel.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      At the time of writing, an implementation of XEmbed is included
+      in GTK+-2.0 that mostly conforms to this version of the
+      specification. The main area of divergence is in the area of
+      accelerators, where a simpler scheme is implemented than the
+      XEMBED_REGISTER_ACCELERATOR, XEMBED_UNREGISTER_ACCELERATOR
+      accelerator scheme described here. The KDE libraries (libkdeui)
+      include QXEmbed, a mostly-complete implementation for Qt of an
+      earlier version of the protocol.

+    <title>Rationale and discussion</title>
+    <para>
+      The basis for handling embedding is that the embedder acts like
+      a "window manager" for the client. (The window management
+      protocol is defined in the X Inter-Client Communications Manual
+      or ICCCM).  The embedder selects with SubstructureRedirectMask
+      on its window so that it can intercept, and then the client
+      window is reparented (using
+      <function>XReparentWindow()</function>)
+      as a child of the embedder window. Because of the substructure redirect, the
+      embedder is able to intercept calls to move or resize the client
+      window, and handle them as appropriate to the location in the
+      embedding application. (Map requests are also redirected, but
+      XEmbed actually handles map requests separately... see the
+      description of the XEMBED_MAPPED flag.)
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The window management protocol is sufficient to handle the
+      basics of visual embedding, but has deficiencies in other areas
+      that prevent it from providing natural integration between
+      toolkits.  These areas include:
+    </para>

+      <member>window activation state</member>
+      <member>keyboard focus</member>
+      <member>tab focus chain</member>

+      <member>modality</member>
+      <member>drag and drop (XDND)</member>
+    </simplelist>
+    
+    <para>
+      The XEmbed protocol is mainly concerned with communicating
+      additional information between embedder and client to handle
+      these areas. Communication in XEmbed is done by forwarding
+      slightly modified XEvents using
+      <function>XSendEvent()</function>,
+      by sending special xembed messages, and by setting X properties. In addition,
+      standard ICCCM features like WMNormalHints are used where
+      appropriate.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The next sections explain why these problems occur with the
+      simple "window management" approach and how XEmbed solves them.
+    </para>
+
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Window activation state</title>
+      <para>
+	A widget has to know the activation state of its toplevel
+	window. This enables input widgets like a line editor, to display
+	a blinking cursor only when the user can actually type into it. In
+	addition, certain GUI styles choose to display inactive windows
+	differently, typically with a lighter and less contrasting color
+	palette.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	Unfortunately, there are no such messages like WindowActivate
+	or WindowDeactivate in the X protocol. Instead, a window knows
+	that it is active when it receives keyboard focus (XFocusInEvent
+	with certain modes) or looses it (XFocusOutEvent with certain
+	modes). This applies to embedded child windows only, when the
+	mouse pointer points onto one of the child's subwindows in the very
+	moment the window manager puts the X focus on the toplevel
+	window. For that reason, XEmbed requires the embedders to pass
+	XEMBED_WINDOW_ACTIVATE and XEMBED_WINDOW_DEACTIVATE messages to
+	their respective clients whenever they get or loose X keyboard
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Keyboard focus</title>
+      <para>
+	The delivery of keyboard events in X is designed in a way that
+	does not correspond to the typical operation of modern
+	toolkits; instead it seems designed to allow things to allow
+	things to work without either a window manager or a focus
+	handling in the toolkit. Typically, key events are sent to the
+	window which has the X input focus (set with
+	XSetInputFocus()). However, if the mouse pointer is inside
+	that focus window, the event is sent to the subwindow of the
+	focus window that is under the moues pointer. In modern toolkits,
+	the X input focus is typically left on the toplevel window and
+	a separate logical input focus is implemented within the
+	toolkit. The toolkit ignores the window that the key event is
+	actually sent to (which might be a scrollbar or other random
+	widget within the toplevel, depending on where the mouse
+	pointer is), and distributes key events to widget with the
+	logical input focus.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	So, for standard operation, the behavior where key events are sent
+	to the window with the mouse pointer is simply ignored. But
+	with embedded windows, it causes problems, since, if the
+	mouse pointer is within the embedded window, the outer toolkit
+	doesn't see any key events, even if the logical keyboard focus
+	is elsewhere within the outer toolkits toplevel window.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	Previous embedding techniques therefore required clients to
+	forward any key event they receive (KeyPress and KeyRelease) to
+	their respective embedder. In order to support multiple levels of
+	embedding, events that stem from a SendEvent request had to be
+	forwarded as well. While this is a possible solution, it adds both
+	race conditions and inefficency
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	The solution proposed by XEmbed is is to beat X11 with its own
+	weapons: The topmost toolkit is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
+	to keep the X input focus on one of its own windows without
+	any embedded children. Keeping the focus on such a window
+	ensures that key events are always delivered to the outer
+	toolkit and thus can be forwarded easily to any embedded
+	window. This also makes it possible to use this part of XEmbed
+	with clients that do not support the protocol at all, without
+	breaking keyboard input for the embedding application.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	In detail, the topmost embedder creates a not-visible X Window to
+	hold the focus, the focus proxy. (It might be a 1x1 child
+	window of toplevel located at -1,-1.) Since the focus proxy isn't
+	an ancestor of the client window, the X focus can never move
+	into the client window because of the mouse pointer location.
+	In other words, whenever the outer window is activated
+	(receives the X input focus), it has to put the X focus on the
+	FocusProxy by calling <function>XSetInputFocus()</function>.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	The trouble with this is, that you should not use <function>XSetInputFocus()</function>
+	without a proper time stamp from the Server, to avoid race
+	conditions. Unfortunately, the XFocusIn even does not carry a
+	timestamp. The solution to this is, to ask the window manager for
+	the WM_TAKE_FOCUS window protocol. Thus, whenever the window is
+	activated, it will receive a WM_PROTOCOLS client message with
+	data.l[0] being WM_TAKE_FOCUS and data.l[1] being a proper
+	timestamp. This timestamp can be used safely for the call to
+	<function>XSetInputFocus()</function>.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	If an embedder widget gets the logical input focus, it sends
+	an XEMBED_FOCUS_IN message to its client. The client that
+	receives this messages knows that its logical focus is now
+	also the logical focus of the application window and will
+	react accordingly. If its logical focus lies on the line
+	editor control mentioned above, and the window is active, the
+	editor will show a blinking cursor after processing this
+	message.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	In a similar fashion, if the embedder looses focus, it sends
+	an XEMBED_FOCUS_OUT message.
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Tab focus chain</title>
+      <para>
+	X does not have a concept of a tab focus chain, it is up to the
+	toolkit or the application to implement it. Since the concept
+	is standard among almost all toolkits, XEmbed supports it. An
+	XEmbed client integrates perfectly in the embedder's tab focus
+	chain, i.e. the user can tab onto the client, through all its
+	widgets and back to the outer world without noticing that they
+	traversed an external window.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	As explained in the previous section, an embedder sends an
+	XEMBED_FOCUS_IN message to its client when it gets focus. The
+	detail code of this message is per default 0, that is,
+	XEMBED_FOCUS_CURRENT. It indicates that the clients keeps its own
+	logical focus where it was. To support tabbing, XEmbed provides
+	two more detail codes, namely XEMBED_FOCUS_FIRST and
+	XEMBED_FOCUS_LAST, that indicate that the client should move
+	its focus to the beginning or end of the focus chain.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	When the user tabs to the very end of a client's tab chain, the
+	client follows the request (i.e. it puts its logical focus back to
+	the beginning its tab chain) and sends an XEMBED_FOCUS_NEXT
+	message to the embedder. If the embedder has siblings that accept
+	tab focus, it will do a virtual tab forward. As a result, it will
+	loose focus itself and consequently send an XEMBED_FOCUS_OUT
+	message to the client. As expected, the client's line edit control
+	from the previous example will stop blinking.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	Backward tabbing is done exactly in the same manner, using the
+	XEMBED_FOCUS_PREV message.
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Keyboard short cuts / accelerators</title>
+      <para>
+	XEmbed is designed in such a way, that keyboard events are
+	received by the toplevel window, and then sent down the focus
+	focus chain. Toolkits will usually check for shortcuts or
+	accelerators before sending the event to the focus widget. If
+	such a shortcut is defined, the respective action is taken
+	rather than passing the event through to the focus
+	widget. This means, accelerators in the outmost window always
+	work properly, whereas accelerators defined inside an embedded
+	client only work if that client actually has focus. XEmbed
+	solves this problem with two messages,
+	XEMBED_REGISTER_ACCELERATOR and XEMBED_UNREGISTER_ACCELERATOR.
+	With XEMBED_REGISTER_ACCELERATOR, a client can reserve a
+	certain key/modifier combination as shortcut or
+	accelerator. The message is passed through to the topmost
+	embedder, where the key combination is stored. An
+	XEMBED_UNREGISTER_ACCELERATOR message releases the key again.
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Modality</title>
+      <para>
+	If an application window is shadowed by a modal dialog, no user
+	input is supposed to get through. The XEmbed design ensures this
+	for keyboard input, because the toplevel window knows about its
+	modal state and will not pass key events through. Embedded clients
+	thus inherit the modality from the topmost embedder. Mouse input,
+	however, is sent directly to the embedded clients by the X-Server,
+	unaffected by the modality of the application window. To give
+	clients the possibility to behave correctly when being shadowed by
+	a modal dialog, an embedder can choose to send an
+	XEMBED_MODALITY_ON message to its client when it becomes shadowed,
+	and an XEMBED_MODALITY_OFF message when it leaves modality
+	again. If the client contains embedders itself, those have to pass
+	both messages through to their clients.
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Drag and drop (XDND)</title>
+      <para>
+	XDND drag-and-drop does not work with reparented external
+	windows, since messages are exchanged with the toplevel window
+	only. This is done for performance reasons. While it is cheap to
+	get the window under the mouse pointer, it is very expensive to
+	get a window under another window. Unfortunately, this is required
+	quite often when dragging objects around, since the pointer
+	may overlap the drag icon.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	Solving the drag-and-drop problem, however, is quite easy,
+	since the XDND protocol was carefully designed in a way that
+	makes it possible to support embedded windows. Basically, the
+	embedder has to operate as drag-and-drop proxy for the client. Any
+	XDND messages like XdndEnter, Xdnd,Leave, etc. simply have to be
+	passed through. A toollkit's XDND implementation has to take this
+	situation in consideration.
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+  </sect1>
+  <sect1 id="lifecycle"> 
+    <title>Embedding life cycle</title>
+    <para>
+      The protocol is started by the embedder. The window ID of
+      the client window is passed (by unspecified means) to the
+      embedding application, and the embedder calls
+      <function>XReparentWindow()</function> to reparent the client
+      window into the embedder window.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Implementations may choose to support an alternate method of
+      beginning the protocol where the window ID of the embedder
+      is passed to client application and the client creates a window
+      within the embedder, or reparents an existing window into
+      the embedder's window. Which method of starting XEmbed is
+      used a matter up to higher level agreement and outside the
+      scope of this specification.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      In either case the client window must have a property called

+	The accelerator_id is used to identify the accelerator when
+	activating the accelerator. The reason for using an
+	accelerator ID instead of identifying accelerators simply by
+	key symbol and modifiers is to allow the correct handling of
+	overloaded accelerators with embedded widgets. (An accelerator
+	is overloaded if there multiple accelerators on the same key,
+	usually because of accidental collisions.) When an overloaded
+	accelerator is pressed repeatedly, the toplevel activates
+	accelerators on that key in round-robin fashion. If this
+	round-robin behavior is not supported by the embedding
+	toolkit, picking an arbitrary accelerator for the key and
+	activating it is acceptable. Well designed applications should
+	avoid collisions in any case.
+      </para>
+      <note>
+	<para>
+	  Ordering the round-robin of conflicting accelerators
+	  in a predictable (geometric or in focus chain) order
+	  is desirable. This can be achieved if the toplevel sorts
+	  the conflicting accelerators as if they applied to the
+	  client instead of widgets within the client and then
+	  each client does the same sort on the subset of conflicting
+	  accelerators within it. To get this to work properly
+	  if there are conflicting accelerators within a client, say widget
+	  A and B both have the same mnemonic, then instead of
+	  registering one accelerator for widget A and one for
+	  widget B, the client should register two accelerators that
+	  corresponds to both A and B, and then when
+	  XEMBED_ACTIVATE_ACCELERATOR is received for either
+	  accelerator, implement round robin between A and B
+	  with the correct sorting.

+	But I [OWT] wouldn't agree with this advice. The point

+	grabs. An example of where this can matter is if you have

+	from the last X event received can cause problems if the
+	ultimate trigger of the behavior is a timeout or network
+	and the last X event happened some time in the distant past.

+      <title>Complexity of accelerator handling</title>
+      <para>
+	The current specification for accelerator handling is a little
+	complex. Most of the complexity (the accelerator IDs) comes
+	from the need to handle conflicting accelerators.
+	GTK+ currently implements a simpler scheme where grabs are
+	identified only by key symbol and modifier and conflicting
+	mnemonic resolution doesn't work across embedder/client
+	interfaces.

+      <title>Infinite loops in focusing</title>
+      <para>
+	There is the potential for infinite loops of focusing -
+	Consider the case:
+      </para>
+      <programlisting><!--
+-->     Toplevel Window
+       Embedder
+         Client<!--
+   --></programlisting>
+      <para>
+	Where there are no focusable sites in the client or in the
+	toplevel window. Then if <keysym>Tab</keysym> is pressed, the embedder
+	will send: FOCUS_IN/FOCUS_FIRST to the client, the client will
+	send FOCUS_NEXT to the embedder, the toplevel window will
+	wrap the focus around and send FOCUS_IN/FOCUS_FIRST to the
+	client...
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	The minimum mechanism that seems necessary to prevent this
+	loop is a serial number in the FOCUS_IN/FOCUS_FIRST message
+	that is repeated in a resulting FOCUS_NEXT message.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	A possibly better way of handling this could be to make FOCUS_IN have
+	an explicit response; that, is, add a XEMBED_FOCUS_IN_RESPONSE
+	that the client must send to the embedder after receipt
+	of a FOCUS_IN message.
+      </para>
+
+      <table>
+	<title>XEMBED_FOCUS_IN_RESPONSE</title>
+	<tgroup cols="2">
+	  <tbody>
+	    <row>
+	      <entry>detail</entry><entry>1 if the client accepted the focus, 0 otherwise</entry>
+	    </row>
+	    <row>
+	      <entry>data1</entry><entry>serial number from XEMBED_FOCUS_IN</entry>
+	    </row>
+	  </tbody>
+	</tgroup>
+      </table>
+      <para>
+	The main problem with requiring a response here is that caller
+	needs to wait for the return event, and to handle cases like
+	parent (client 1) => child (client 2) => grandchild (client 1),
+	it probably needs to process all sorts of incoming events at
+	this point. If the user hits <keysym>Tab</keysym><keysym>Tab</keysym>
+	in quick succession things could get very complicated.

+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Robustness</title>
+      <para>	
+	The protocol, as currently constituted, is not robust against
+	the embedder crashing. This will result in the embedder
+	window being destroyed by the X server, and, as a consequence
+	client's window being unexpectedly destroyed, which will likely cause the
+	client to die with a BadWindow error.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	To fix this requires an X protocol extension which extends
+	the functionality of <function>XChangeSaveSet()</function> in
+	two areas:
+      </para>
+      <itemizedlist>
+	<listitem>
+	  <para>
+	    Allow it to be specified that the saved window should be
+	    reparented to the root window rather than to the nearest
+	    parent. (The nearest parent typically being the window
+	    manager's frame window, reparenting to the nearest
+	    parent only saves the client until the window manager
+	    cleans up and destroys the frame window.)
+	  </para>
+	</listitem>
+	<listitem>
+	  <para>
+	    Allow it to be specified that the saved window should be
+	    unmapped rather than then mapped. (Without this capability
+	    the client will mapped as a child of the root window,
+	    which will be confusing to the user.)
+	  </para>
+	</listitem>
+      </itemizedlist>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Sensitivity</title>
+      <para>
+	Toolkits such as Qt and GTK+ have a concept of disabled
+	widgets. This notion is typically hierarchical, so if 
+	the embedder or a ancestory of the embedder becomes
+	insensitive, widgets inside the client should be displayed as,
+	and act insensitive as well.
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Directional focusing</title>
+      <para>
+	Some toolkits, such as GTK+, support, along with the standard
+	concept of a focus chain, the idea of <firstterm>directional
+	focusing</firstterm>; it's possible in some cases to navigate
+	focus using the arrow keys. To do this perfectly, you need
+	to have information about the coordinates of the original
+	focus window, which is hard to do in an embedding context,
+	but a good approximation is to, when focusing into a
+	container, provide the side of the container where focus
+	is coming from and to focus the "middle widget" on this side.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	This could be supported by adding an extra data field to
+	to the XEMBED_FOCUS_FIRST/XEMBED_FOCUS_LAST subtypes
+	of XEMBED_FOCUS_IN and to XEMBED_FOCUS_NEXT and
+	XEMBED_FOCUS_PREV, which would contain:
+      </para>
+      <programlisting><!--
+-->/* Directions for focusing */
+#define XEMBED_DIRECTION_DEFAULT    0
+#define XEMBED_DIRECTION_UP_DOWN    1
+#define XEMBED_DIRECTION_LEFT_RIGHT 2<!--
+   --></programlisting>
+      <para>
+	Applications supporting only normal tab focusing would always
+	pass XEMBED_DIRECTION_DEFAULT and treat all received
+	directions as XEMBED_DIRECTION_DEFAULT.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	The argument against supporting this is that it's a rather
+	confusing feature to start with (many widgets eat arrow keys
+	for other purposes), and becomes more confusing if you have
+	a application containing widgets from different toolkits,
+	some of which support it, some of which don't.
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Modal dialogs</title>
+      <para>
+	The specification doesn't have any provisions for handling the
+	case where an embedded client wants to put up a dialog. Such a
+	dialog should be transient-for the real toplevel window, and,
+	if modal, should block the entire toplevel window. To fully
+	implement this, you would need some concept of an application
+	that spanned multiple toplevel windows in multiple clients.
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Propagation of key presses</title>
+      <para>
+	It's frequently useful to have keybindings that trigger on
+	a widget if the focus is on a child of that widget. For
+	instance, <keysym>Control</keysym><keysym>PageUp</keysym>
+	and <keysym>Control</keysym><keysym>PageUp</keysym> switch
+	pages in a notebook widget when the focus is on a child
+	of the notebook. The XEmbed spec currently has no handling
+	of this situation.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	The simplest solution would be to specify that if the client
+	widget doesn't handle a key press sent to it, it then sends
+	the event back to the embedder. Some care would be required
+	in the embedder handle infinite loops, but it shouldn't
+	be that bad. 
+      </para>
+    </sect2>
+    <sect2>
+      <title>Handling of toplevel modes</title>
+      <para>
+	GTK+-2.0 contains a feature for key navigation of tooltips
+	where Control-F1 toggles a "tooltips keyboard mode" where
+	the tooltip for the currently focused window is displayed.
+	There is no way of propagating this across XEMBED.
+	This feature could clearly be implemented the same
+	way as XEMBED_WINDOW_ACTIVATE, but adding a pair of
+	messages for every feature of this type seems excessive.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	A possible alternate idea would be to add a _XEMBED_STATE
+	property that the embedder sets on the client window which
+	is a list of atoms. This could actually be used to
+	replace XEMBED_WINDOW_ACTIVATE, and XEMBED_MODALITY_ON,
+	simplifying the protocol.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	There are some race conditions in maintaining this property
+	if the client is allowed to reparent itself out of the
+	embedder that would have to be considered.
