what is the xid? The x11 thingy? in that case you will need to implement a method on GdkWindow (not GtkWindow): https://docs.gtk.org/gdk3-x11/method.X11Window.get_xid.html then you do something like: GRunLoop defer: [ xid := myGtkWindow gdkWindow xid ]. but this is tied to the x11 system and linux is going out really fast of it (is being replaced by Wayland). I can bet there has to be a better way to connect it to a window.
