 - BPicture needs to keeps a local copy of its data to be able to reconnect
 to a new app_server. A better way could be to use shared memory. Since the
 BPicture can grow, a resize function has to be implemented in the
 ClientMemoryAllocator. After that a similar implementation like the bitmap
 one can be used.

 - when a app is talking to the app server while the server crashes the app
 may hang while waiting for a server response. Maybe improve the server
 link by introducing a timeout ~0.5s. If the timeout is reached, check if
 the app_server port really is dead and stop otherwise continuing
 listening.

 - all the app server protocol has to be checked if messages not reaching
 the (dead) server are catched properly.
