There is a way to "swallow" a window under Mac Classic, so I am assuming there 
is a way to do this under OSX also.  I think the problem wrt to Qt is that Qt 
doesn't know what the equivalent of WinID on OSX.   I think a good place to 
start is ControlManger under the carbon section and see what functionality 
can map over the XEmbed.  I think this is a holdover from classic, so this 
class may go away soon.  I will see if there is a newer class that can do the 
same.
