Change 'debugexit' to quit main loop rather than exit(), add cleanup (3.32 KB, patch)

Description Colin Walters 2011-05-05 22:16:32 UTC 
A new envrionment variable GNOME_SHELL_ENABLE_CLEANUP is added which
causes us to attempt freeing global data.  The reason this isn't
enabled by default is that it's a waste of time at best, and at
worst in corner cases could cause crashes which would fill up
crash databases.  Better to leave it as a developer-only tool.

Start stubbing out some cleanup in ShellGlobal.

Honestly this is sort of unfinished; the goal is to make valgrind useful obviously, but we have a lot more to do there.  On the other hand it's not harmful.

So if you think it's OK I'll put it in.
