<title>Description</title>
<para>Together with a <link
linkend="class-gtkplug"><classname>gtk.Plug</classname></link>, a <link
linkend="class-gtksocket"><classname>gtk.Socket</classname></link> provides
the ability to embed widgets from one process into another process in a
fashion that is transparent to the user. One process creates a <link
linkend="class-gtksocket"><classname>gtk.Socket</classname></link> widget
and, passes the that widget's window ID to the other process, which then
creates a <link
linkend="class-gtkplug"><classname>gtk.Plug</classname></link> with that
window ID. Any widgets contained in the <link
linkend="class-gtkplug"><classname>gtk.Plug</classname></link> then will
appear inside the first applications window. The socket's window ID is
obtained by using the <link
linkend="method-gtksocket--get-id"><methodname>get_id</methodname>()</link>
method. Before using this function, the socket must have been realized, and
added to its parent.</para>
<para>When PyGTK 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. The communication between a <link
linkend="class-gtksocket"><classname>gtk.Socket</classname></link> and a
<link linkend="class-gtkplug"><classname>gtk.Plug</classname></link> follows
the XEmbed protocol.</para>

To embed a <link

<itemizedlist>

<para>create the <link

<link linkend="constructor-gtkplug">gtk.Plug</link>(), then call <link

to get the window ID of the plug, and finally pass that to the <link

or,</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>call the <link

method to get the window ID for the socket, then create the <link

<link linkend="constructor-gtkplug">gtk.Plug</link>() passing in that ID.
The <link linkend="class-gtksocket"><classname>gtk.Socket</classname></link>
