Embeding Blender in a PyGTK Window Demo
Goathead - July 20, 2010
Useage: (linux only)
    1. Run this script "python embedblender-demo.py"
    2. Blender will popup in a small window, you must click it within 5 seconds
    3. The Blender window is moved to the GTK window,
        you should be able to continue to interact with Blender
Known Issues:
    1. Losing window focus can disable mouse click input,
        mouse wheel and keyboard seem to always work
    2. Not clicking the Blender window when it first appears can cause it to not be
       responsive when its embeded in the pygtk window.

''' Blender25 has a bug if you had "saved as default" your own startup blend
  --window-geometry fails to be respected and blender opens a full screen window,
   uncomment the line below to remove your startup blend so this demo can work properly. '''
