           Summary: FrameView should make more calls to postLayoutTasks()
                    using the timer
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: bdakin at apple.com


Right now, FrameView calls FrameView::postLayoutTasks() either synchronously, or via the postLayoutTasksTimer. If we make more of these calls through the timer, then some scripts will be able to run without hanging WebKit or the UI AND without hitting the JavaScript recursion limit. 

This change only allows synchronous calls to postLayoutTasks() if we are not already in a synchronous call to postLayoutTasks(). Furthermore, it de-couples the notion of "the post layout timer should fire" from m_postLayoutTasksTimer.isActive(), instead using a boolean to track the need to use the timer.
