There's not supported way, but it might be do-able on a per-platform
basis for a specific version of SWT. I've sent this to the SWT newsgroup.

There's a way to do this in theory, but I don't know if it has actually been
tried for motif-based apps. It's worth a try though:

- create an SWT Composite with style SWT.EMBEDDED
- call XReparentWindow(...) with the Composite's embeddedHandle field as the
"parent" value

HTH,
