-Zecke's Implementation Thoughts

-Task: Kill the Dolphin Singleton
-Reasoning: Have more than one Dolphin TLW
-Approach:
- 1. Create DolphinApplication to hold all TLW's.
- 2. Make dolphin.h dolphomainwindow.h
- 3. Change the Views to have a DolphinMainWindow
- parameter
-
-Reasoning:
- I find it more natural that the DolphinApplication
- holds and controls the list of managed MainWindows and
- will control the life time of them, specially deleting
- them on exit.
- The downside is that DolphinApplication and DolphinMainWindow
- need to work together but this is managable
-
- Making DolphinView::mainWindow() public. Most users of the
- current Dolphin::mainView have a pointer to the current view
- already. We could pass a second pointer for the mainwindow each
- time but the same can be achieved by using the appropriate
- DolphinView::mainWindow.
- Another approach would be to ask the DolphinView to execute
- actions on the MainWindow like it is done with declareViewActive
- in DolphinView. I'm not entirely sure which one wins but currently
- using mainWindow() does not show any negative impact.
-
- 2 times Dolphin::mainWin was used to check if the view is current.
- this can be made a method of of the view
-
- 1 time we want the viewChanged signal of our mainwindow to update,
- the UrlNavigator could connect a signal to a signal to allow this
-
- 12 times this was used to access the actionCollection
