Description of problem:

From: Wade Brainerd <wadetb>

Hi,

I'm experimenting with adding the ability to embed Flash content in
Sugar activities.  (Sugar is the software behind One Laptop Per Child,
see http://sugarlabs.org).  Sugar activities are typically written in
PyGTK.

I have it working fine with Gnash, by running the standalone Gnash
player with the -x <XID> option and the XID of a gtk.Socket window
that my activity creates.  The -x parameter tells Gnash to create a
GtkPlug widget instead of its main window, attaching the given XID.
This nicely embeds the Gnash player inside my PyGTK program.

I'm trying to replicate the same thing with the Adobe player.  The
Adobe standalone player doesn't appear to accept a -x <XID> option.
So, I'm using nspluginwrapper and the Adobe plugin.  All I had to do
was add support for passing an XID into the standalone nspluginwrapper
program, npplayer.

The patch to do so is attached.  It adds a --xid N option to npplayer
which causes a GtkPlug to be created at startup instead of the top
level window.  It allows any NS plugin to be embedded in any GTK
program by virtue of the GtkPlug / GtkSocket system, which is a stated
goal of the nspluginwrapper project.

I hope someone else finds it useful.

Best,
Wade

(PS - I'm new to nspluginwrapper, so if there is an easier way to do
what I've done please let me know!)
