I was wondering if anyone could point me towards any info on displaying another process as a child/sub window of my Perl/Tk application; ie, as if it were a child widget.

I'm interested in having the positioning, geometery, visibility-state, and focus tied to my window. Having bindings and events passed through (if appropriate, of course) would be nice, as well, but I can do that manually via direct calls to the window manager (Sawfish), if need be. Heck, I could probably do all of it via direct calls to the window manager but I'd like to know if Tk has an easier or more straight-forward way to do it.

I appreciate any info, even if it's negative (ie, it can't be done). TIA! :-)
