Either make it static, or make it an + instance. + + - we need to rethink the expose event handling. right now + expose events are only handled once all the other events in + the queue are handled. So, if you're resizing quickly you + get no redraws until you're done. maybe look at the + _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST protocol (for the resize/redraw case + specifically). Also, the current expose handling has us + accessing the invalid list/rectangle from multiple threads. + + - factor out ALL knowledge of the multiple windows + (client/whole) into the X11Hwnd class, so we can try to + factor it out. + + - clean up the systray icon stuff - right now it destroys (!) + the client_window and sets client_window == whole_window. + ugh. + + - hwnds should keep track of the width/height they report to + SWF as well as the x window's width/height. That is, we + should allow hwnds with 0,0 width/height even though X + doesn't allow it. There's some "zero_size" stuff in Hwnd, + but it still appears impossible to have 0,0 sized Widgets. + + - window (subwindow, really) destruction should move to Hwnd + if possible. + + - remove 90% of "lock (XlibLock)" usage. It's not really + needed at all, except perhaps to synchronize the + XEventThread and the PeekMessage/GetMessage methods. + + - the big synchronization problem now is the XEventQueue + class. I think all queue operations need to be done while + holding a lock, as the events are queued from the + XEventThread and dequeued from GetMessage. + +possible classes: + + - XplatUIX11 (creates the first (only?)
