International Input Support on X - SDK 0.41.17.9

After all this struggle to get SCIM working, I could finally implement the international input support.

Ecere Communicator now includes the new runtime library and supports international input as well.

The Linux SDK now also properly supports X keysyms to follow the correct keyboard layout.

I believe the X clipboard operations should be fixed for good this time. (I tested and was able to copy to and from FireFox and between two Ecere IDEs.)

The X bitmap rendering features some additional support.

Two small samples were added, a transparent clock, and a utility to take a screen shot of the X desktop.

A smal fix was made to desktop-level transparent windows using OpenGL. The IDE and Debugger had some minor improvements done as well.

An issue was resolved on Windows, whereas internal resources could not be accessed when a executable was inside a path containing non-ASCII characters. The last installer itself would not work when ran from such a path.

With the Windows taskbar autohiding, the Ecere applications do not resize anymore (it was causing a “jumping” effect) .

The runtime now prompts for reestablishing Windows network connections.
