Hi

I'd never heard of the Singleton design pattern until now (shows how much I
know about C++), but I thought it sounded interesting as I was attempting to
do something similar with the screen class in xenon.

I see using a singleton is far better, as this prevents the creation of
multiple screen objects; before I was just preventing the screen setup code
in the constructor running more than once.  Much neater.
