 * @short_description: Interface for setting/getting a Window on elements
 * supporting it
 *
 * <refsect2>
 * <para>
 * The XOverlay interface is used for 2 main purposes :
 * <itemizedlist>
 * <listitem>
 * <para>
 * To get a grab on the Window where the video sink element is going to render.
 * This is achieved by either being informed about the Window identifier that
 * the video sink element generated, or by forcing the video sink element to use
 * a specific Window identifier for rendering.
 * </para>
 * </listitem>
 * <listitem>
 * <para>
 * To force a redrawing of the latest video frame the video sink element
 * displayed on the Window. Indeed if the #GstPipeline is in #GST_STATE_PAUSED
 * state, moving the Window around will damage its content. Application
 * developers will want to handle the Expose events themselves and force the
 * video sink element to refresh the Window's content.
 * </para>
 * </listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * Using the Window created by the video sink is probably the simplest scenario,
 * in some cases, though, it might not be flexible enough for application
 * developers if they need to catch events such as mouse moves and button
 * clicks.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * Setting a specific Window identifier on the video sink element is the most
 * flexible solution but it has some issues. Indeed the application needs to set
 * its Window identifier at the right time to avoid internal Window creation
 * from the video sink element. To solve this issue a #GstMessage is posted on
 * the bus to inform the application that it should set the Window identifier
 * immediately. Here is an example on how to do that correctly:
 * |[
 * static GstBusSyncReply
 * create_window (GstBus * bus, GstMessage * message, GstPipeline * pipeline)
 * {
 *  // ignore anything but 'prepare-xwindow-id' element messages
 *  if (GST_MESSAGE_TYPE (message) != GST_MESSAGE_ELEMENT)
 *    return GST_BUS_PASS;
 *  
 *  if (!gst_structure_has_name (message-&gt;structure, "prepare-xwindow-id"))
 *    return GST_BUS_PASS;
 *  
 *  win = XCreateSimpleWindow (disp, root, 0, 0, 320, 240, 0, 0, 0);
 *  
 *  XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap (disp, win, None);
 *  
 *  XMapRaised (disp, win);
 *  
 *  XSync (disp, FALSE);
 *   
 *  gst_x_overlay_set_window_handle (GST_X_OVERLAY (GST_MESSAGE_SRC (message)),
 *      win);
 *   
 *  gst_message_unref (message);
 *   
 *  return GST_BUS_DROP;
 * }
 * ...
 * int
 * main (int argc, char **argv)
 * {
 * ...
 *  bus = gst_pipeline_get_bus (GST_PIPELINE (pipeline));
 *  gst_bus_set_sync_handler (bus, (GstBusSyncHandler) create_window, pipeline);
 * ...
 * }
 * ]|
 * </para>
 * </refsect2>
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Two basic usage scenarios</title>
 * <para>
 * There are two basic usage scenarios: in the simplest case, the application
 * knows exactly what particular element is used for video output, which is
 * usually the case when the application creates the videosink to use
 * (e.g. #xvimagesink, #ximagesink, etc.) itself; in this case, the application
 * can just create the videosink element, create and realize the window to
 * render the video on and then call gst_x_overlay_set_window_handle() directly
 * with the XID or native window handle, before starting up the pipeline.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * In the other and more common case, the application does not know in advance
 * what GStreamer video sink element will be used for video output. This is
 * usually the case when an element such as #autovideosink or #gconfvideosink
 * is used. In this case, the video sink element itself is created
 * asynchronously from a GStreamer streaming thread some time after the
 * pipeline has been started up. When that happens, however, the video sink
 * will need to know right then whether to render onto an already existing
 * application window or whether to create its own window. This is when it
 * posts a prepare-xwindow-id message, and that is also why this message needs
 * to be handled in a sync bus handler which will be called from the streaming
 * thread directly (because the video sink will need an answer right then).
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * As response to the prepare-xwindow-id element message in the bus sync
 * handler, the application may use gst_x_overlay_set_window_handle() to tell
 * the video sink to render onto an existing window surface. At this point the
 * application should already have obtained the window handle / XID, so it
 * just needs to set it. It is generally not advisable to call any GUI toolkit
 * functions or window system functions from the streaming thread in which the
 * prepare-xwindow-id message is handled, because most GUI toolkits and
 * windowing systems are not thread-safe at all and a lot of care would be
 * required to co-ordinate the toolkit and window system calls of the
 * different threads (Gtk+ users please note: prior to Gtk+ 2.18
 * GDK_WINDOW_XID() was just a simple structure access, so generally fine to do
 * within the bus sync handler; this macro was changed to a function call in
 * Gtk+ 2.18 and later, which is likely to cause problems when called from a
 * sync handler; see below for a better approach without GDK_WINDOW_XID()
 * used in the callback).
