/** @file notification-service.cpp
** Implementation of notifications and updates within the GUI.
** This is the actual service implementation and runs within the GUI plugin.
**
** Since GTK is _not threadsafe by design,_ any external invocation passed through
** this facade service will be dispatched explicitly into the GTK event loop thread.
** The implementation of this dispatch is based upon `Glib::Dispatcher` and thus
** requires this service instance to be created from within the thread performing
** the GTK event loop. Moreover, to avoid segmentation faults on shutdown, the
** lifespan of this service instance must exceed the running of the event loop,
** since otherwise the event loop might invoke a lambda bound to the `this`
** pointer of a NotificationService already decommissioned. The setup of the
** standard Lumiera UI top-level context ensures this is the case, since the
** UiManager::performMainLoop() maintains the NotificationService instance
** and also performs the blocking `gtk_main()` call. Consequently, any
** invocation added from other threads after leaving the GTK main loop
** but before closing the GuiNotification facade will just be enqueued,
** but then dropped on destruction of the UiDispatcher PImpl.
**
** @see ui-dispatcher.hpp
