- I think I'm barking up the wrong tree. X gets me confused, I'm not
- really sure what reparenting does. My favorite variant of emacs is
- epoch, which is X-aware. Epoch has a function that will reparent an
- epoch screen under another xwindow id. Maybe there isn't anything
- that needs doing - maybe I just create a frame with wish, get the Xid,
- and ask epoch to reparent under it? So maybe what I need to ask is
- these two questions:
- How do I get the Xid of a frame under wish?
- How can I give a child to a frame?

- But, I think the point is probably moot, since their is a lucid-emacs
- (which has x-windows support), tkemacs, and (of course) mxedit.
-
- Oh no, the point is not moot. Lemacs has no scroll bars, tkemacs has
- been modified quite a bit (I want to use standard distribution), and
- mxedit isn't really emacs at all, is it?
