user interface - how can I make a desktop gui app that behaves like a window manager for any other apps? -


i want build general purpose application used ide anything.

for example, user needs text editor , 2 separate terminals specific work. open app, split main window 3 parts, run favourite text editor in 1 of them , favourite terminals in other two.

how can make that?

update:

something one: https://vimeo.com/6661713

think don't use system-wide, click icon, window opens , done in video.

there many ways accomplish want.

in comments, said target platform linux. using xembed (wikipedia link) lets embed x applications inside application. have never used cannot comment on how easy use or stable solution problem.

at level, implement seeking extension window manager. xmonad comes mind extensible window manager: add hook tells xmonad how handle windows. requires knowledge of xmonad , haskell, though.
