 The difference between QXEmbed and the two QX11Embed* classes is that QXEmbed 
tries to be both, instances of QXEmbed should work like QX11EmbedContainer 
and static functions should automagically work like QX11EmbedWidget after 
QXEmbed::initialize() is called. So usage of QXEmbed::initialize() should be 
replaced by making the respective widget that will be embedded inherit from 
QX11EmbedWidget.

 It does, your grep seems to be broken :).
