I got cross-window communication working in the source versions, but the
build version throws an error that is very difficult to debug.

Don't try it unless you want to debug it - it is not working yet. How it
should work:

1) With the button "Open new browser window", create two windows showing the
application. They should share the same php session (this works in FF and
Safari, not sure about IE), which is necessary, because the php backend
stores the shared data simply in $_SESSION. In a real use case, each
application can sit in different browsers or on different computers, and the
data will come from a database.

2) In both windows, turn the event transport on by clicking on the next
button. This starts a request that is repeated each 3 seconds to transport
events to the server and polls new events from the server.  Both
applications register themselves with an unique UUID at the server and start
exchanging events through the server.

3) When manipulating the tree in one window (add child, prune, rename), the
"change" and "changeBubble" events that do the synchronization of
synchronized trees in the application itself, are transformed into data
structures and sent to the server and picked up by the other application,
and the tree(s) manipulated accordingly. Of course, in a real application,
the server would not simply forward the event, but check permissions, save
it into database, and so on. 

4) Please note that this feature does not work with the random tree
generation since each application is sent a completely different tree - and
therefore those trees cannot be synchronized.

As I said, it works beautifully here on my local computer in the source
version, but throws a cryptic error in build. It would be very helpful if a
friendly qooxdoo guru could have a look at the error (it occurs whenever you
turn the message transport on) and help me at least locate the source of the
error. If that helps, the source code of the application is here:

https://qooxdoo-contrib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qooxdoo-contrib/trunk/qooxdoo-contrib/qcl/trunk/application/databinding/source/class/databinding/Application.js

and of the library package here:

Thanks, Christian
