Subject: Update TODO -> NeXTstep port -> Improved xwidgets support

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello everyone.

I have a question and a possible patch to contribute.
For context: the most glaring issues with xwidget support of NS have been
fixed: I contributed a patch to get rid of memory leaks a while ago, under:
"bug#60703 Patches to xwidget code".

I've just noticed that I forgot to update the TODO file, so it still
mentions crashes:
> trying to display a xwidget in the "killed" state will make Emacs crash.

I've used the xwidget feature extensively and in my experience, xwidgets do
not crash Emacs anymore.

Question:
 - Could someone clarify what we mean by displaying a xwidget in the
"killed" state? I want to make sure I understand the problem and it's fixed

Possible patch (if the problem is indeed fixed):
Attached. Remove the mention of crashes, and clarify which features are
still missing from the NS port.


Thanks for all your work!

Can someone who knows about this (Po Lu?) answer Andrew's question?
