[pygtk] integration of C gtk app into pygtk app (in limited environment)

[Radek Vykydal]

Hello list,

I am trying to integrate nm-connection-editor which is C gtk app into 
Anaconda installer
python GUI. There is a limited mini-wm window manager running in the 
environment.
My goal is to take control over the nm-connection-editor window when the 
nm app
is run (python UI being already running) so that:

* the nm window behaves as modal
  I was experimenting with something like this:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-January/msg00037.html

  which basically means:
  - creating new gdk window from xid of nm-connection-editor
  - setting some python UI window as transient for it
  - setting modal hint of nm-connection-editor window to true

  but couldn't get it working (modality of nm window)

* I can handle limited resolution of the python UI (800x600).
  - Moving nm window to the top a bit doesn't help because next 
window/dialog run
  from it is placed in the center again.

Do you have any hints or pointers?

Thanks,

Radek
