[mythtv] Re: compiling mythtv frontend for cygwin

[Mario L]

I am using QT/X11, Well I found the problem - for some reason the main
WId isn't the one that should be used.  Instead using the "embededid"
instead.  I haven't looked much futher into what embededid was, as it
just "worked" when I switched to it.
