Thanks for your input Kevin.
The goal of our attempts is to recreate the behavior of ksnapshot, the KDE Screenshot Tool. You select a window by its xid and while hovering over it we want to draw a rectangle around the current subwindow to indicate the size of it. In the end you should be able to take a screenshot of the selected subwindow (that is currently not a problem because it's a drawable and it's easy to save it). (maybe someone is interested in the code: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/4.1/kdegraphics/ksnapshot/) At the moment I have less time working on this issue because i have an university exam next week ;-( I will give it a try after my exam and keep "pointer_grab" at the back of my mind. Currently i am thinking that zentara's example of laying a transparent Gtk2 window over the selected one and then draw to the transparent window is a very good idea as well. Thanks all you folks for help but don't spent too much time on my "problem".
