remember one of the issues i had with a Dialog. What's the recommended way
of changing it's width and/or height?
width and height are read only ...

</div>heh.. yes.. for getting devel going, a placeholder is fine.<br>
<br>
as marco noted, a proxy widget isn't going to be much help. what is needed is<br>
a QML element that knows of the top level window so it can set xatoms as<br>
needed (and later whatever we do for wayland, etc).<br>
<br>
so to me it makes sense to have this particular QML item be a C++ subclass of<br>
QDeclarativeItem that is tightly coupled to the window implementation and has<br>
a property for the window id to show.<br>
<br>
one question would be whether to support showing multiple windows in one of<br>
these items, or one window per item. i lean towards one window per item for<br>
ease of implementation and flexibility of use inside the \
QML.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Certainly 1! then a list of those \
