[Tutor] Launching an app into a frame

That's what I believe too :)

Sounds good but how would you do that ? And would the app interact with user's
input into the frame that contains the app ?


An other way should be using an X server (using the os variable DISPLAY), but I
just managed to install xlib and didn't find any valuable doc about how to use
it correctly, especially how to bound the app to a display (for example
'localhost:0.3')...
Does anyone know if it could be a good solution ?

No pb, I'll mail the code to tutor list.
