You need to know the IDs of those applications windows
and then you use an Xlib call to reparent them into your
own window.

This is not optimal solution as the focus doesn't work that well
between them (XEmbed protocol would take care of this and is
implemented by GtkPlug and GtkSocket. For more info, see Gtk API
and freedesktop.org documentation), nor will they propagate key
events they don't handle themselves back to your application window.
