// FIXME: Currently, wxScreenDC doesn't work at all in non-exclusive mode
//        (DFSCL_NORMAL). In this mode, requesting primary surface results
//        in one of the following actions, depending on directfbrc
//        configuration:
//
//        (1) if force-desktop, a surface is created and used as *background*
//            for the windows managed by DFB WM
//
//        (2) otherwise, a dummy surface of the right size and format is
//            created, but isn't shown on the screen
//
//        (3) furthermore, if autoflip-window option is not used and primary
//            surface is requested as single-buffered (which is needed to
//            implement wxScreenDC semantics), a warning is issued in addition
//            to 2); if autoflip-window is used, then a helper thread is
//            created and does periodic flipping, which is even worse
//
//        2) and 3) are obviously unsatisfactory. 1) isn't suitable either,
//        because wxScreenDC has to render *on top* of windows.
//
//        In conclusion, wxScreenDC as currently implemented is only usable
//        for measuring things (e.g. font sizes). For this task, however, it
//        is quite expensive to create in DFSCL_NORMAL mode, because it
//        involves creation of a new surface as big as the screen.
//
//        The surface, as obtained from GetPrimarySurface(), is double-buffered
//        for the sole purpose of silencing the warning from 3) above.
