I posted an API for that very purpose a while ago.
It was simple and was also rejected. It seems
the main GGI guys want it as part of the Sprite
library. I didn't care how it was done, I just wanted it.
So, I ended up striking down the prophet or portability
and coded it myself. You can use GGIGetAPI() to check
to see if it's the X lib. Then, using the LIBGGI_PRIVATE
macro to extract
the Xhook struct. From there, you have raw access to the
X display and can do anything you want with it. I don't
care
if it's the right way to do it, it works.
