You should use normal Xlib calls to create the window rather than the
xwcreate routine.  Once you get the window created, use the
"make_X11_gopen_string(3g)" Starbase routine to create a "device file
name" for the window.  Starbase recognizes a special format to indicate
what the server name and Window ID is.  The Starbase driver chapter
about sox11 gives a good description of how to use this.
