;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This code was developed and maintained as a part of speedbar since 1996.
;; It became its own support utility in Aug 2000.
;;
;; Dedicated frame mode is an Emacs independent library for supporting
;; a program/buffer combination that resides in a dedicated frame.
;; Support of this nature requires several complex interactions with the
;; user which this library will provide, including:
;;
;; * Creation of a frame.  Positioned relatively.
;;   Includes a frame cache for User position caching.
;; * Switching between frames.
;; * Timed activities using idle-timers
;; * Frame/buffer killing hooks
;; * Mouse-3 position relative menu
;; * Mouse motion, help-echo hacks
;; * Mouse clicking, double clicking, & XEmacs image clicking hack
;; * Mode line hacking
;; * Utilities for use in a program covering:
;;    o keymap massage for some actions
;;    o working with an associated buffer
;;    o shift-click
;;    o detaching a frame
;;    o focus-shifting & optional frame jumping
;;    o currently active frame.
;;    o message/y-or-n-p
;;    o mouse set point
;;
;; To Use:
;; 1) (require 'dframe)
;; 2) Variable Setup:
;;   -frame-parameters -- Frame parameters for Emacs.
;;   -frame-plist -- Frame parameters for XEmacs.
;;   -- Not on parameter lists: They can optionally include width
;;      and height.  If width or height is not included, then it will
;;      be provided to match the originating frame.  In general,
;;      turning off the menu bar, mode line, and minibuffer can
;;      provide a smaller window, or more display area.
;;   -track-mouse-flag -- mouse tracking on/off specific to your tool.
;;   -update-flag -- app toggle for timer use.  Init from
;;     `dframe-have-timer-flag'.  This is nil for terminals, since
;;     updating a frame in a terminal is not useful to the user.
;;   -key-map -- Your keymap.  Call `dframe-update-keymap' on it.
;;   -buffer, -frame, -cached-frame -- Variables used to track your
;;     applications buffer, frame, or frame cache (when hidden).  See
;;     `dframe-frame-mode' for details.
;;   -before-delete-hook, -before-popup-hook, -after-create-hook --
;;     Hooks to have called.  The `-after-create-hook' probably wants
;;     to call a function which calls `dframe-reposition-frame' in an
;;     appropriate manner.
;; 3) Function Setup:
;;   your-frame-mode -- function to toggle your app frame on and off.
;;     its tasks are:
;;       a) create a buffer
;;       b) Call `dframe-frame-mode'.  (See its doc)
;;       c) If successful (your -frame variable has a value), call
;;          timer setup if applicable.
;;   your-frame-reposition- -- Function to call from after-create-hook to
;;     reposition your frame with `dframe-repsoition-frame'.
;;   your-mode -- Set up the major mode of the buffer for your app.
;;     Set these variables: dframe-track-mouse-function,
;;                          dframe-help-echo-function,
;;                          dframe-mouse-click-function,
;;                          dframe-mouse-position-function.
;;   See speedbar's implementation of these functions.
;;    `speedbar-current-frame', `speedbar-get-focus', `speedbar-message',
;;    `speedbar-y-or-n-p', `speedbar-set-timer', `speedbar-click',
;;    `speedbar-position-cursor-on-line'
;; 4) Handling mouse clicks, and help text:
;;   dframe-track-mouse, dframe-help-echo-function --
;;    These variables need to be set to functions that display info
;;    based on the mouse's position.
;;   Text propert 'help-echo, set to `dframe-help-echo', which will
;;    call `dframe-help-echo-function'.
;;   Have a `-click' function, it can call `dframe-quick-mouse' for
;;    positioning.  If the variable `dframe-power-click' is non-nil,
;;    then `shift' was held down during the click.

;;; Bugs
;;
;;  * The timer managers doesn't handle multiple different timeouts.
;;  * You can't specify continuous timeouts (as opposed to just idle timers.)
