I agree on that. but this have_xid is also usefull to avoid all the mess
of creating a window in the app. It s far much easier to wait for an xid
and make reparent than creating a gdk window correctly and give it
correctly to the video sink. So i would like to keep both and that let
gst-launch working too which i appreciate.

I won't do anything without your approval, that's not my style :)
