Sounds like what you want is the old gfx subwindow stuff - before canvas'
and frames - the dark "tool" era.  Look for the old framedemo code,
flight, etc.

I do not know if gfx can do this, but windowmanager calls should be able
to (?).

>3)  I'd also like to draw into the window....

Once you open the gfx it is easily written to because their is a pixwin
within every graphics window.

You might also try the windowmanager code level stuff.  I have been able
to do some "non-supported" stuff at this level.  You might try opening a
window, retrieving its parent, retrieving the parents file descriptor, and
then resizing it.  I do not know if you will then be able to draw in it
though??
