In GStreamer as such yes, but not really in this utility lib. Seems a bit
heavy-handed to link to or header-wise depend on Gdk plus the entire dependency
chain just to get something that basically amounts to a pointer typedef (?).
Also, I am not sure it actually helps us get the information we need (something
to pass on to another process so it knows which window to make itself transient
to).

IMHO it's best (easiest) to punt the implementation details for OSX/WIN32 for
now and know it can easily be added in future if/when the need arises.

As an alternative to the context stuff we could just turn _install_*sync() into
a vararg function with documented key/type/value triplets, but that's not very
bindings friendly as far as I am aware.
