Description

anchor window is in the example source?

  1. shutdown_alerter:
    1. get shutdown alerter right:
      1. this should suck in the stuff from anchor window for dealing with windows so we have a single interface.
      2. keep anchor window as a simple wrapper for now.
      3. but definitely get the shutdown alerter able to whack windows crap too.
    2. shutdown alerter issues
      1. still a need for rendez based anchor
        1. shutdown alerter is absolutely ideal on linux.
        2. it's all we need.
        3. however, the anchor window is still a blasted window on windows.
        4. it doesn't work right with the launcher service for any apps that are owned by a different user.
        5. a rendezvous or some other portable solution would be nice in anchor window; then we'd be ready for any OS and it wouldn't have the weirdness of actually being a window.
        6. the way is prepared for this now; anchor window's window handle is not used by anyone any longer.
      2. still need shutdown alerter on both
        1. shutdown alerter must be provided as the real deal for windows.
        2. perhaps using the registered message?
        3. or just plug in the windowing parts used in upper levels? that wouldn't be totally kludgy, and it would provide the right interface.
