Gtk3 Threaded UI

Introduction

This page is meant to track our work on refactoring the Gtk3 UI to properly work with the awesome work done by DQH, solving a lot of issues with rendering and sound synchronisation (the infamous "ruckeln") by using threading to have the emulation take precedence over the UI. The main dialogs (attach disk, open and use the setting dialog, etc) have already been refactored, but a lot of dialogs/popup menus and statusbar widgets remain.

Using the new threaded code

Best filled in by DQH, I think :)

UI elements to to check and refactor

Main menu items

This table contains a list of menu actions/dialogs reachable via the main menu. Unless otherwise noted, the "source file" column contains the filename with src/arch/gtk3 stripped off. The keyboard shortcuts are taken from the Linux port, so they might be off for at least MacOS.
