/** @file global-ctx.hpp
** Dependency context to hold all the global UI top-level entities.
** There is a small number of management facilities, responsible for conducting all the
** global concerns of the Lumiera UI. The circle of these _top level managers_ is quite cohesive,
** insofar each knows each other and is aware of each others responsibilities. When starting the UI,
** this global context is established and wired in one shot, any any failure here immediately terminates
** the UI-Layer. It is the UiManager's responsibility to install this management circle and this task is
** what effectively brings the UI into operative state.
**
** Towards the outside, the interface exposed by these managers is rather narrow; basically the parts
** comprising the UI are to be wired at startup and expected to react based on events from then on.
** Shutdown of the GUI is effected by terminating the GTK event loop. Each of the top-level managers
** serves a distinct purpose and will be addressed through a dedicated API, even by the collaborating
** other top-level managers.
**
** The global UI context is comprised of the following members
** - connection to the [UI-Bus](\ref ui-bus.hpp)
** - the UiManager
** - the InteractionDirector
** - the WindowLocator
** - the Wizard
**
** @see gtk-lumiera.hpp
** @see ui-bus.hpp
** @see ui-manager.hpp
** @see interaction-director.hpp
