80637 - Implementing nsIEmbeddingSiteWindow::GetSiteWindow() for gtk embedding widget

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 80638

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, defect)

Description

[Philip Langdale]

nsIEmbeddingSiteWindow::GetSiteWindow() is currently unimplemented for the
gtk embedding widget. As far as I can see, and this is hardly definitive, it
appears essentially impossible to return a pointer to the actual hosting window
of the gtk widget. I guess this is why it hasn't been done. The powerplant and
mfc embedding projects are mini-browsers that embed mozilla directly, so the
site window can be returned. In the case of the gtk widget, the equivelent site
window is the gtk widget itself, rather than the gtk window embedding the gtk
widget. While this is not exactly what we are looking for, it is useful. For
our prompt service implementation in galeon, it is sufficient for getsitewindow
to return the gtkmozembed widget. We can use that to parent our prompt dialogs,
and this is adequate, and a lot better than nothing.

Patch to do this is attached.
