If that is the way it works, then Qt is not very much of assistance here.

Well, I tried it anyway, getting the window id of a running application using xwininfo. Passing this to my application at least does something... The original window disappears but still does not appear in the container.

Having read something about bugs in this area in Qt 4 or 4.2 specifically, I was wondering whether anyone actually has experience with these calls.

Maybe a question to pass to one of the Qt developers?
