hw/xwin: Fix clipboard thread restart
It seems that the clipboard thread restart mechanism has been broken for a while, which can be demonstrated using XDMCP with KDM (e.g. to a Kubutunu 12.04 host) KDM kills all attached clients, including the clipboard integration client, which restarts, but then exits on WM_QUIT. Using PostQuitMessage() in WM_DESTROY is unhelpful, as we may not actually be quitting the thread, if we just destroyed the window because the clipboard thread is about to retry, because he WM_QUIT message sticks around, and is noticed the next time we look at the window message queue and confuses us into thinking we need to quit. Sending a WM_DESTROY is apparently never correct anyhow, see [1] So: 1/ Use DestroyWindow() to destroy the clipboard messaging window when cleaning up for retry or exit in winClipboardProc (the clipboard thread main proc) 2/ Send a special WM_WM_QUIT message in winClipboardWindowDestroy() from the X server thread when the X server is resetting. 3/ When processing that WM_WM_QUIT message in the clipboard thread, cause the clipboard window to PostQuitMessage(), which causes the clipboard thread to exit.
