Yes, I can. But it will take some time.

I will make a X11 component whose aim is exporting everything needed so 
that no call to the X11 library is needed, and you write only Gambas code.

At the moment, such code exists, but it is located inside the gb.desktop 
component and not documented. Moreover, the interface of gb.desktop is 
not very well thought (it mixes desktop and window manager things).

I think I will make a gb.desktop.x11 component you will be able to use 
directly, and I will rebase gb.desktop on it.

Then you just will have to check both gb.desktop and gb.desktop.x11 
explicitely. You will use gb.desktop for desktop things, and you will 
use gb.desktop.x11 for specific things like you asked in that mail.

Be patient!
