By the same logic, it's only a problem for the window provider of an 
interface, not the stand-alone ones, and thus it should be handled by the 
interface. Obvious logical flaw is obvious.

Besides, technically there is already a way to handle this. It's just that 
interface implementors cannot be bothered (UI frameworks make it hard) to 
handle the window being allocated before the interface, or deallocated after 
the interface. At the core level, everything is already in place for this.

And I really don't see how you can fix that in the video window code, which is 
the most obvious but not the only symptomatic case. This really is a problem 
between the playlist and the main interfaces.
