  If I understand you right, you're running an external application and
you would like your qtruby application to 'swallow' it ? (I use swallow,
like in FvwmButton which is doing something of the like).

  Look at the QX11Embed documentation, you should find what you need.
(it seems to me it's only Qt4, but I can't say for sure).

  Cheers,
