A Forward from Kalle Dalheimer [ograf@fga.de: Re: Project ideas]
Huhu dear XEmacs-Developers,
I'm in close contact to Kalle form the KDE-Porject and informed him
about the discussion which is going on at moment about the qt-Subject
et al. He asked me to send you this forward.

From the very first implementation of session management, kwm
contained a session management proxy for applications that don't
support the X11R6 session management protocol.
Nope. And I won't do it, cause I had epileptic seizures after I
browsed the
source of KDE (and part of the Qt docu) in search of their DnD protocol (they
use a version 0 OffiX). But this might come from my natural aversion against
code written is this language.
I want KDE to do DnD with XEmacs (who knows OffiX already), but KDE can't find
the window of XEmacs, cause Qt hides the windows from KDE (in QMouse events)
and so it has to do the search on it's own... (same problem as the session
stuff, kwm does not know XEmacs).
You can get easily at the X window by calling winId() on the
QWidget. Feel free to ask me anything about Qt you might need to know.
