This is a monster patch that required changing a whole bunch of things.
There are performance and stability issues all over the place, but it works.
Pretty cool, I have to admit :^)
I'm going with a global top-of-the-screen menu instead of per-window menus.
The basic idea is that menus will live in the WindowServer and clients can
create menus via WindowServer requests.
Let GButton have an optional icon (GraphicsBitmap) that gets rendered in the
middle of the button if present.
Also add GraphicsBitmap::load_from_file() which allows mmap'ed RGBA32 files.
I wrote a little program to take "raw" files from GIMP and swizzle them into
the correct byte order.
Use this to fix a use-after-free in ~GraphicsBitmap(). We'd hit this when
the WindowServer was doing a deferred destruction of a WSWindow whose
backing store referred to a now-reaped Process.
To start painting, call:
gui$get_window_backing_store()
Then finish up with:
gui$release_window_backing_store()
Process will retain the underlying GraphicsBitmap behind the scenes.
This fixes racing between the WindowServer and GUI clients.
This patch also adds a WSWindowLocker that is exactly what it sounds like.
