109002 - track window creation API change in gtkembed

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, defect)

Description

[Dan M]

I just checked in an API change on the trunk that will affects all embedding
apps. Until today there were two APIs in use to create new windows:
nsIWebBrowserChrome::CreateBrowserWindow and
nsIWindowCreator::CreateChromeWindow. They are nearly identical, and I've
removed the former one. Most embedding apps implemented the former but not the
latter, because until now the latter was required only very rarely, and you may
not even have noticed it not working.

I think actually that you don't need to do anything. I believe I've moved the
window creation callback code from nsIWebBrowserChrome to nsIWindowCreator in
every embedded app checked in. But you might want to double-check my work. Just
wouldn't want you to not know why things suddenly stopped working.

Marking a bunch of bugs in the "Embedding: APIs" component INCOMPLETE in preparation to archive that component. If I have done this incorrectly, please reopen the bugs and move them to a more correct component as we don't have "embedding" APIs any more.
