Third, I'm quite eager to further explore the potential of
multi-component GUI applications where the (complex and fragile) widget
rendering is sandboxed and completely isolated from the application
logic. The underlying design principle is currently employed be Genode's
custom window manager and the menu-view-based applications (i.e., the
Leitzentrale of Sculpt). Right now, the implementation of such
applications is quite unusual (if not to say awkward). But maybe the
"librarization" of init as requested by Ben would make this approach
feasible for a broader use? Now that I'm writing this paragraph, I feel
that this topic deserves some coverage at genodians.org ;-)
Yes, please elaborate on the current situation as well as your thoughts
on improving it.
Am I correct to infer that this would also make it easier to add
different front-ends to the same "application"?
Maybe we even find that a combination of these approaches is beneficial?
Another area of experimentation is the secure exchange of date between
applications (copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop).
Please share your thoughts on this also.
For instance, the VirtualBox Guest Additions have a Shared Clipboard
feature. I assumed that this might have to be a Qt-only feature, but if
there is a system-wide clipboard, that would be much better.
I'm very curious towards your planned line of work. The prospect of
bringing both projects Haiku and Genode together is very cool!
I'll be closely following this also!
