Help with beryl/xwinwrap - Making a neat desktop animation

[red spark studios]

Hey,

I have recently started using ubuntu with beryl, and discovered a neat little c app 'xwinwrap'. It creates a window in place of the desktop, and then runs an app within that window - mostly used for video playback on the desktop.

xwinwrap passes a window id to an app which the app should use to work on - I have successfully written pb4 code that gets the window id, but it seems fruitless trying to make pb work with this pre-created window. Openwindowedscreen doesn't work, and I realise it won't because of how SDL works. Any clue on how to get drawing onto this window?
