After the last patch, after each resize the X server fills the complete wibox
with its background color which means that the widgets will still flicker. This
patch fixes this by setting the wibox' bit gravity to NorthWest.
This means that if a wibox is enlarged, only the new, larger part will be filled
with the wibox' background color and the rest of the wibox' content will be left
intact. With this patch I couldn't see any flickering anymore.

Currently wiboxes have their background set to "inherit parent pixmap". That
means that each time a wibox is e.g. resized, the X server sets the wibox'
content to the wallpaper and then immediately awesome redraws the wibox with the
proper background. This causes flicker when you e.g. resize clients which have a
titlebar.
With this patch, wiboxes get their proper background color for their "back
pixel" value. Now, instead of showing the wallpaper, the X server will fill the
complete wibox with its background color.
With this patch, the actual widgets will still flicker. Also, if the wibox has a
background image, this image obviously won't be used by the X server and we get
some flicker again. My next patch will address these issues.
