No, computer graphics don't work this way in any kind of cross-platform manner. If you are only targeting X11, you can try to playwith the xembed stuff. I doubt this will work on either end, SDL can'tgenerate more than one window normally, and Fx will probably not likebeing embedded like that. Depending on what you are doing, you may bebetter off using GTK+MozEmbed.

that you could move around because it is a pygame surface?
