You can use [gemdead] (from GridFlow) together with Gem objects, to do 
pix-stuff that is controlled completely by a [metro] of your choice (and 
thus is not related to the [gemwin]). Then you can integrate it into 
[gemwin]-related chains by sending it to the right inlet of a pix-object.

But I've never tried.

(I've only used this with [#from_pix], but it's not limited to that.)
