My patch currently does the "grey rectangle" variant.
This is not so bad as it might appear, at least for the use-cases I'm
interested in, which is buffers with many gtk widgets, many views on
the buffers, but not necesarily the same part in each view.
I agree that usability with multiple views on a buffer with a large
xembed widget would be a quite unstellar experience, at least with my patch.
