The bacon video widget, basically. What xvideosink does is to emit a
signal when it has created a XWindow. The app (i.e. the widget) is then
responsible for embedding this window inside the GtkWindow, which is
exactly what bacon video widget does.

libgstplay? The bacon video widget is supposed to be reusable in other
apps, too. Totem and gst-player share it.
