Unfortunately this is a huge hack there. NPAPI does not send you XEvents
nor does it otherwise tell you anything. As far as I see it you would
have to add javascript/browser event listeners and feed that into your
plugin. Since that's not an option I let the engine event loop run every
frame update. This is not ideal since you have then two event loops
running but I know from others having done so two and it worked. Besides
the input is properly gobbled up this way by the engine. To test I
captured also a key-press on which I set the window position or
unmap/map the window manually. Even with spamming this the window didn't
get fixed so it's not an X Event randomly swallowed by one of the event
loops. It's definitely a more deep problem. When I activate firebug for
example the plugin window is partially hidden. Nevertheless the GL
rendering draws into the full window neglecting the clipped region.
Something utterly confuses the compositor there. I'll though try out if
this event handling is incorrectly selected. In the FOX case I did reset
the window handling since FOX expects widgets to have certain window
properties. I'll try this here too. Maybe it helps.
