Not at all. Create a Toplevel or Frame widget with the container=1
resource, then use winfo_id to find out the Window ID of the
window. Pass that ID to your C++ program, and give the Window ID to 
XCreateWindow.

If you want to have it the other way around (i.e. Tk embedding itself
into some other application), create a Toplevel widget with the
use=WindowID resource.

HTH,
