I am still suspicious the cleanup mechanism for child widgets works as expected...
But right now, we can't verify that, since on shutdown we get an assertion failure
from ld.so "dl-close.c: 762: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed!"
Seems we're loading the GUI plugin not properly
- define tasks to be addressed during investigation
- read documentation, identify problematic aspects
- prepare a child widget class to be placed on the canvas
My intention is to use this space for experiments first,
and then as a construction site for a rewrite of the
custom timeline widget.
We really need a rewrite here, in order to be properly
aligned to the standard way of writing such a custom widget,
and also to build our first connection to the UI-Bus and then
remove the old placeholder UI model
over time, a specific Lumiera code writing style has emerged.
The GUI, as it stood, used somewhat different conventions,
which now have been aligned to the common standard.
Basically we use GNU style, with some adjustments for OO-programming,
we prefer CamelCase, and write TypeNames uppercase, variableNames lowercase
it is a widely accepted rule to shape names with the usage site in mind.
Especially this means, that we use the singular form for all kinds
of collections and assortments.
Thus, the namespace should be called "widget" not "widgets",
because at usage site this becomes gui::widget::TimelineWidget
Likewise for "dialogs" and "pannels"
