I don't.  This is just a side effect of adding the xid property to
xvideosink.  I really just want to specify it in xml pipeline
descriptions I will feed to gstreamer.

I suppose so, but it would be more convenient to be able to set this as
an element property.  I'm not sure why you would want to treat it
differently.

BTW, what does "overlay" mean in this context.  In the future, will I be
creating xoverlays instead of xvideosinks?

Thanks,
