Scott Talbert 1033fb048d Fix wxGetKeyState() on non-X11 wxGTK backends (e.g., Wayland) 
wxGetKeyState() does not currently work on non-X11 GTK backends, and in some
cases it has been reported to crash.  It seems that the most likely use case
for wxGetKeyState() is to query the modifier keys, so on non-X11 backends, use
GTK+ calls to retrieve the modifier key state.

Non-modifier keys are not currently implemented, update the documentation to
mention this.

/**
Executes another program in Unix or Windows.
In the overloaded versions of this function, if @a flags parameter contains
@c wxEXEC_ASYNC flag (the default), flow of control immediately returns. If
it contains @c wxEXEC_SYNC, the current application waits until the other
program has terminated.
In the case of synchronous execution, the return value is the exit code of
the process (which terminates by the moment the function returns) and will
be -1 if the process couldn't be started and typically 0 if the process
terminated successfully. Also, while waiting for the process to terminate,
wxExecute() will call wxYield(). Because of this, by default this function
disables all application windows to avoid unexpected reentrancies which
could result from the users interaction with the program while the child
process is running. If you are sure that it is safe to not disable the
program windows, you may pass @c wxEXEC_NODISABLE flag to prevent this
automatic disabling from happening.
For asynchronous execution, however, the return value is the process id and
zero value indicates that the command could not be executed. As an added
complication, the return value of -1 in this case indicates that we didn't
launch a new process, but connected to the running one (this can only
happen when using DDE under Windows for command execution). In particular,
in this case only, the calling code will not get the notification about
process termination.
If @a callback isn't @NULL and if execution is asynchronous,
wxProcess::OnTerminate() will be called when the process finishes.
Specifying this parameter also allows you to redirect the standard input
and/or output of the process being launched by calling
wxProcess::Redirect().
Under Windows, when launching a console process its console is shown by
default but hidden if its IO is redirected. Both of these default
behaviours may be overridden: if ::wxEXEC_HIDE_CONSOLE is specified, the
console will never be shown. If ::wxEXEC_SHOW_CONSOLE is used, the console
will be shown even if the child process IO is redirected. Neither of these
flags affect non-console Windows applications or does anything under the
other systems.
Under Unix the flag @c wxEXEC_MAKE_GROUP_LEADER may be used to ensure that
the new process is a group leader (this will create a new session if
needed). Calling wxKill() passing wxKILL_CHILDREN will kill this process as
well as all of its children (except those which have started their own
session). Under MSW, this flag can be used with console processes only and
corresponds to the native @c CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP flag.
The @c wxEXEC_NOEVENTS flag prevents processing of any events from taking
place while the child process is running. It should be only used for very
short-lived processes as otherwise the application windows risk becoming
unresponsive from the users point of view. As this flag only makes sense
with @c wxEXEC_SYNC, @c wxEXEC_BLOCK equal to the sum of both of these
flags is provided as a convenience.
@note Currently wxExecute() can only be used from the main thread, calling
this function from another thread will result in an assert failure in
debug build and won't work.

The command to execute and any parameters to pass to it as a single

which is equal to their combination, in wxEXEC_SYNC case.

works if the application does have windows. If it doesn't, as is notably
always the case for the console applications, you need to use @c wxSIGKILL
to actually kill the process. Of course, this doesn't allow the process to
shut down gracefully and so should be avoided if possible.
Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure. If the @a rc parameter is not @NULL,
it will be filled with a value from the @c wxKillError enum:
@code
enum wxKillError

wxKILL_OK, // no error
wxKILL_BAD_SIGNAL, // no such signal
wxKILL_ACCESS_DENIED, // permission denied
wxKILL_NO_PROCESS, // no such process
wxKILL_ERROR // another, unspecified error

wxKILL_CHILDREN, in which case the child processes of this process will be
