to embed widgets from one process into another process
in a fashion that is transparent to the user. One
process creates a <a class="link" href="GtkSocket.html" title="GtkSocket"><span class="type">GtkSocket</span></a> widget and passes
that widget's window ID to the other process,
which then creates a <a class="link" href="GtkPlug.html" title="GtkPlug"><span class="type">GtkPlug</span></a> with that window ID.
Any widgets contained in the <a class="link" href="GtkPlug.html" title="GtkPlug"><span class="type">GtkPlug</span></a> then will appear
inside the first application's window.</p>
<p>The socket's window ID is obtained by using
<a class="link" href="GtkSocket.html#gtk-socket-get-id" title="gtk_socket_get_id ()"><code class="function">gtk_socket_get_id()</code></a>. Before using this function,
the socket must have been realized, and for hence,
have been added to its parent.</p>

<br class="example-break"><p>Note that if you pass the window ID of the socket to another
process that will create a plug in the socket, you
must make sure that the socket widget is not destroyed
until that plug is created. Violating this rule will
cause unpredictable consequences, the most likely
consequence being that the plug will appear as a
separate toplevel window. You can check if the plug
has been created by using <a class="link" href="GtkSocket.html#gtk-socket-get-plug-window" title="gtk_socket_get_plug_window ()"><code class="function">gtk_socket_get_plug_window()</code></a>. If
it returns a non-<a href="../glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> value, then the plug has been
successfully created inside of the socket.</p>
<p>When GTK+ is notified that the embedded window has been
destroyed, then it will destroy the socket as well. You
should always, therefore, be prepared for your sockets
to be destroyed at any time when the main event loop
is running. To prevent this from happening, you can
connect to the <a class="link" href="GtkSocket.html#GtkSocket-plug-removed" title="The “plug-removed” signal"><span class="type">“plug-removed”</span></a> signal.</p>
<p>The communication between a <a class="link" href="GtkSocket.html" title="GtkSocket"><span class="type">GtkSocket</span></a> and a <a class="link" href="GtkPlug.html" title="GtkPlug"><span class="type">GtkPlug</span></a> follows the</p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/xembed-spec" target="_top">XEmbed</a><p>protocol. This protocol has also been implemented in other toolkits, e.g.</p>
<span class="application">Qt</span>, allowing the same level of integration
<p>when embedding a <span class="application">Qt</span> widget in GTK or vice versa.</p>
<p>A socket can also be used to swallow arbitrary
pre-existing top-level windows using <a class="link" href="GtkSocket.html#gtk-socket-steal" title="gtk_socket_steal ()"><code class="function">gtk_socket_steal()</code></a>,
though the integration when this is done will not be as close
as between a <a class="link" href="GtkPlug.html" title="GtkPlug"><span class="type">GtkPlug</span></a> and a <a class="link" href="GtkSocket.html" title="GtkSocket"><span class="type">GtkSocket</span></a>.</p>
