Hmm... btw... I have to take a quick stab at the RIGHTS issue
flamebait with my own flamebait remark.
The user is given the RIGHT to use whatever program they're running,
they are not entitled to it :). Extend this argument to EULA's,
public domain, GPL, they don't HAVE to use the program, etc etc etc
:). Then, continuing the 'RIGHTS' argument, most agreements include
clauses stating no fitness of purpose, indemnity, warranty, guarantee,
etc etc etc. If you're going to insist the user has a RIGHT to common
OS/WM controls, then does not implementing them mean apps that don't
support them fall under malware, viruses, abusive, etc ?
I'd skip the whole rights issue and focus on where it should be
implemented in the design aspect of things :). I, personally, dislike
an extra layer in the event pipeline, but, having the WM part of SDL,
or an SDL_wmconvention library offer an _Init() or something seems the
most plausible. Then you get the fun of if() vs function pointer
goodness, etc etc etc. And, best of all, I'd imagine it'd only take
an hour or three to implement such a system... meaning we'd have a
stop-gap solution in the interim. I, sadly, have a 24/7 on call life,
and therefore don't have time to implement it personally :(.
I wouldn't mind seeing something available to catch these common OS/WM
commands to aid in cross platform goodness... although having them
forced down your throat would undoubtedly have ALOT of people up in
arms.
Back to securing a server, blech :(.
