Rather than blitting and rendering each window every time, only
render what actually changed. And while doing so, only render
the portions that are visible on the screen. This avoids flickering
because flipping framebuffers isn't always perfectly in sync with
the code, so it's possible that the flip happens slightly delayed
and we can briefly see the next iteration having partially completed.
Also, avoid touching the mouse cursor unless it is in an area that
needs updating. This reduces flickering unless it is over an area
that is updated often. And because we no longer render the entire
screen, we'll save the contents below the cursor so that we can
hide it before touching that area.
Fixes#2981
IPC::ClientConnection now tracks the time since the last time we got
a message from the client and calls a virtual function on itself after
3 seconds: may_have_become_unresponsive().
Subclasses of ClientConnection can then react to this if they like.
We use this mechanism in WindowServer to send out a friendly Ping
message to the client. If he doesn't Pong within 1 second, we mark
the client as "unresponsive" and recompose all of his windows with
a darkened appearance and amended title until he Pongs us.
This is a little on the aggressive side and we should figure out a way
to wake up less often. Perhaps this could only be done to windows the
user is currently interacting with, for example.
Anyways, this is pretty cool! :^)
Normally we walk the window stack to see if a given dirty rect is
covered by an opaque window. When the active window is full-screened,
we can skip this check and just unconditionally paint the window.
This fixes an issue where windows with higher inherent z-order (like
the taskbar and menu windows) would get cursor ghosting in them while
a normal window was full-screened.
Fixes#2289.
It didn't feel right to have a "DHCPClient" in a "Servers" directory.
Rename this to Services to better reflect the type of programs we'll
be putting in there.
