No, computer graphics don't work this way in any kind of cross-
platform manner. If you are only targeting X11, you can try to play
with the xembed stuff. I doubt this will work on either end, SDL can't
generate more than one window normally, and Fx will probably not like
being embedded
Basically the short answer to all of this is:
NO
You would have write a window manager (or at least most of one) from
