gVideo: this bug is my favorite feature :-)))



Hello,

as I was just trying to patch gVideo (see my mail before), I found
the following, what most people may call a bug. Actually it gives
exactly the behaviour I want:

mknod /pipe p
gVideo
   play File > open /pipe
cat somerecord > /pipe
stop the cat with CTRL-C
*then* stop gVideo with CTRL-C (not with the GUI Quit!)

Result: A window (without window frame) keeps staying open on the monitor.
It displays the recent TV broadcast. When I "cat file > /dev/video", it displays
the file. And the best: When I start vdr, I can even see the vdr menu in this
window. This is 98% what I want :-)))
Only problem: I would like to have a window frame around it, so I can
reposition, resize, iconize and close it.
And of course, I would like to have an easier procedure 
to get this window ;-)

cu,
  Thomas
