Thanks Kevin! I'm trying out your suggestion and I've got the GtkWindow
hooking up to the foreign GdkWindow properly, but it looks like I still get
the same X server error when trying to draw after the browser destroys the
GtkSocket's window, and I still can't find a signal/event that gets
dispatched when that happens. :( e.g., delete, destroy, reparent, unmap, and
unrealize are not dispatched. Do you remember if there was a particular
event that you listened for to handle this case?
