[wplug] I have a challenge

[Yaakov M. Nemoy]

The short answer is no. In windows, buttons are a first class element
recognised by the system. In linux, the first class element is a pixel
in an X server. There are multiple widget toolkits that handle drawing
and behavior of 'buttons' and render it as the pixels in X.

The long answer is that it is possible to duplicate this behavior, but
very very difficult. The sane thing to do is to have the toolkit
report a magnet point via an XATOM on the window and then have the
window manager automatically move the pointer to the magnet point when
switching the window. This would require getting into the innards of
the source code.
