[Qt-interest] Qt and screensaver with X11

[Bartosh Wroblevksy]

Unfortunately I have tried this API and was not able to "plug in" a Qt widget in this. From the page you sent me, the method
XScreenSaverRegister(Display *dpy, int screen,XID xid, Atom type);

seemed promising. But I can't really make out the parameters. What I am supposed to put in screen? What am I supposed to but in xid and what am I put in Atom.
If anybody knows how to plug a Qt widget in this. It would be nice.
Thanks,Christopher
