[RFC] Backport PR557 to stable branches

[Deepak Bhole]

Hi,

PR557 affects all branches, and I think it should be backported to the
stable supported ones (1.7, 1.8 and 1.9).

Patch is attached. Are there any objections? 

ChangeLog:
2010-09-17  Deepak Bhole <dbhole at redhat.com>

   PR557: Applet opens in a separate window if tab is closed when the applet
   loads
   * plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc 
   (ITNP_Destroy): Send a destroy message to let Java side know that the
   applet needs to be destroyed.

Please also note that for the branches, the above will not completely
fix PR557 (there will still be a time window in which it can be
triggered. But that window will be a much smaller one.). This is because
the branches continue to remain affected by PR556 (race conditions
during initialization). PR556 is fixed in HEAD and will eventually be
backported to the branches.

Cheers,
Deepak
