Mixing X and GNUstep

[Raffael Herzog]

Hi,

I'm learning GNUstep programming and thought a GNUstep frontend to Xine would 
be a relatively easy task for a first application - except one thing, which is 
very special about that: Embedding Xine into a GNUstep window.

I do the following to get the information I need for Xine:

 // use XGServer dynamically -> no need to link against gnustep-back
 Class xgServer = objc_get_class("XGServer");
 IMP imp = [xgServer methodForSelector: @selector(_windowWithTag:)];
 gswindow_device_t *dev = (gswindow_device_t *)imp(xgServer,
                                                   @selector(_windowWithTag:),
                                                   [window windowNumber]);
 xineVisual.display = dev->display;
 xineVisual.screen = dev->screen;
 xineVisual.d = dev->ident;

-> is there a cleaner way? I mean, this is now really hacking in the middle of 
the internals of the backend... :-/

When I run the program and make Xine display its logo, it appears for a short 
time, but then the program segfaults:

Any ideas what's going on there? Is my idea realisable at all?


TIA,

 The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is
                no difference, but in practice, there is.
