class QXEmbedData;

/**
 * A QXEmbed widget serves as an embedder that can manage one single
 * embedded X-window. These so-called client windows can be arbitrary
 * QWidgets.
 * 
 * There are two different ways of using QXEmbed, from the embedder's
 * or from the client's side.  When using it from the embedder's side,
 * you already know the window identifier of the window that should be
 * embedded. Simply call @ref #embed() with this identifier as parameter.
 *
 * Embedding from the client's side requires that the client knows the
 * window identifier of the respective embedder widget. Use either
 * @ref #embedClientIntoWindow() or the high-level wrapper
 * @ref #processClientCmdline().
 * 
 * If a window has been embedded succesfully, @ref #embeddedWinId() returns
 * its id.
 * 
 * Reimplement the change handler @ref #windowChanged() to catch embedding or
 * the destruction of embedded windows. In the latter case, the
 * embedder also emits a signal @ref #embeddedWindowDestroyed() for
 * convenience.
 *
 * @short The QXEmbed widget is a graphical socket that can embed an external X-Window.
