633722 - Port Bug 615394 [Session Restore should notify when it is beginning and ending a restore]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

Attachment: patch

From parent bug:

This should cover setWindowState, as well as other restore triggers. This is
necessary for Panorama to properly handle session restore. We need this sooner
than later, as it blocks a number of Panorama bugs.

So we really want to make it clear when we're adding/replacing state.

This can be done via restoreLastSession, setBrowserState, setWindowState,
setTabState, duplicateTab, undoCloseTab, undoCloseWindow.

Of those, restoreLastSession & setBrowserState will send
sessionstore-browser-state-restored when finished.

setWindowState will fire SSTabRestoring on each tab it's restoring.
setTabState, undoCloseTab, duplicateTab should also be firing a single
SSTabRestoring.

undoCloseWindow will open a new window so doesn't actually matter to Panorama
right now.

So what I'm thinking right now is that we fire an event on the window when we
start modifying state then fire another event indicating that we're ready for
that state to be inspected/modified. Something like SSWindowStateBusy and
SSWindowStateReady?

That might be a bit too much of a wide angle approach, but I think it achieves
what we want and is enough for Panorama to know not to just start doing things
on TabOpen.

At some point I'm going to regret asking for single underscores.
But not just yet ;-)
