gter : embed a GUI app inside a terminal window or any other window

tested only with xterm, I also use i3 window manager. this is much better solution than the previous approach.

requirement

• X11
• xterm
• bash

compile and run

git clone https://github.com/raoofha/gter
cd gter
bash $PWD/src/setParentWindow.c build
# add it to your path
ln -s $PWD/src/gter ~/.local/bin/gter
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/gter

set window parent on other windows

WINDOWID=$WINDOWID WINDOWX=0 WINDOWY=0 LD_PRELOAD=./bin/setParentWindow.so xclock
