Hi, all,

Since most of you guys (esp Bulia and Mental) are not on Jabber during the day while I am logged in, I thought I would send a bit of info to this list regarding finding the hang-on-close bug.

I have been trying for the last day or so to find the reason that event processing, and thus gtk_main_loop() keeps running when all views are gone, and one or other of the dialogs managed by DialogManager have been displayed.

Three things I know:

1) It is not the SPView in imageicon.cpp messing with the View-tracking code. I commented it out, no change.

2) It is not the result of wrap()-ing the SPView in a Gtk::Widget. Again, I commented it out with no change.

3) The DialogManager's destructor code seems to never be called, so explicitly deleting the managed dialogs would be a moot point.

But if you think about it.. a dialog undisplayed with F12 is hidden, not killed. Of course it is still processing events.

Below is the part of interface.cpp that is used for View deletion. sp_ui_close_view() is called by the verb for the File/Close menu item, while sp_ui_delete_view() is called by clicking the close [x] button. (I don't get that one. It seems to be a read-only function)

By tracing, I found that sp_ui_close_view() always reaches the end of the method, and calls gtk_destroy_widget().

I can only guess that the persistence of Gtkmm objects is different from C Gtk objects, and that maybe we cannot just use the same idea that when all visible frames are gone, the application will just "go away." Maybe some explicit frame-counting and deletion would be necessary. Maybe transientizing needs to be done differently.

Maybe maintain a std::map<Glib::ustring, SPView *> map of name->view of all editing windows.. When it goes to zero length, explicitly quit. This would also give us the ability to have a "Windows" menu.
